Security measures of personal information of smart home PC

Abstract

DB servers for managing personal information have security systems for enhancing security, but security systems do not fully operate in user's smart home PC, and it is thus necessary to analyze vulnerabilities for protecting personal information, and to study self-diagnosis of security. This study aims to search and encrypt information related to protecting personal information in a smart home PC to enhance security and to delete files so that they cannot be recovered. The analysis of vulnerabilities detected in a smart home PC aims to check user account, shared folders, service firewall, screen savers, and automatic patch updates. A quantitative analysis and expression about vulnerabilities after checking them is carried out to make and show a check list for enhancing security. Smart home PC security management is then managed and operated by a server semi-automatically. It is expected that this study will contribute to reducing financial damages and people's distress by further protecting personal information in a smart home PC, and enhancing national cyber security. ©2013 SERSC.
