KISTI, Developing Fluid Dynamic Simulation SW for SMEs
KISTI has developed an open source based tool that can be used for fluid dynamics simulation. It is expected to be of great help to SMEs that cannot purchase expensive related software. KISTI M&S Center announced on Mar.1st that it developed “HEMOS Fluid” for this purpose and received GS(Good Software) certificate. HEMOS is an open source based solver(structural analysis software) and a library (a post-processing tool used for structural analysis). It is a entry level CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) software. HEMOS Fluid visualizes simulation and prediction performance results by entering multiple variables. KISTI researchers made it intuitive and easy compared to existing fluid mechanics software. The workflow method is applied to the user interface (UI) so that domestic SMEs can use it a lot, displaying the current work stage and all stages, and diagramming them. HEMOS Fluid can analyze basic steady-state heat flow. Currently, the focus is on versatility and plans to expand its functions every year. It is also a feature that has already received GS certificate. GS certificate is a national certification given to software that has passed the quality test based on ISO international standards. GS ensures objective quality, safety and reliability. This service is being served free of charge on HEMOS Cloud operated by KISTI. HEMOS Cloud is also linked with KISTI supercomputer Nurion. When complex analysis is required, Cloud and Nurion can be used at the same time. In addition to HEMOS Fluid, KISTI also operate HEMOS Structure for structural mechanics, and Hemos HVAC for indoor aerodynamics. In the case of HVAC, visualization tools using virtual reality and augmented reality are also prepared. They have received GS certificate too. “We plan to add functions such as movable material analysis and rotor analysis to HEMOS Fluid,” and “ It is expected to attract more use of SMEs experiencing SW purchasing problems.” said Kim Myung-il, Director of M&S Center. -

An expert research society was established to study quantum computer security
An expert research society was established to study quantum computer security that can easily penetrate cryptographic systems used in e-commerce, etc. KISTI announced on Feb. 01 that it will establish a “quantum security research group” in the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology and take the role of a secretary to research quantum and security technologies. Public-key cryptographic algorithms used for authentication and digital signatures in electronic financial transactions utilize prime factorization and discrete logarithm problems. The password needs solution to be solved and is highly safe cause it will take decades or more even with supercomputers around the world. However, a quantum computer that uses a quantum mechanical state in which 0 and 1 exist at the same time, rather than the binary systemof 0 and 1, can quickly solve the problem, raising security concerns. On the 15th of last month, the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology established a quantum security research group for academic development between quantum and security technologies. The goal is to study quantum computer security technologies such as quantum distribution keys and quantum resistant encryption, and to present technical standards and directions. Participants of the research group decided to share related technologies and contribute to information exchange between industry-academia and research institutes by holding bilateral and security technology seminars and training. Jae-cheol Ryu, President of the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology(Professor of Computer Convergence, Chungnam National University) said, "Quantum and security technology area future technology that members of the society are very interested in and and we will also continue to provide support for the development of the quantum cryptography research conference.” Seok Woo-jin, Director of the KISTI Science and Technology Research Network Center, who served as a secretary of the Quantum Security Research Group, said, "Through this research group, we will continue to strive to cooperate with participants and create research results so that quantum security technology can be incorporated into KISTI's national science and technology research network." . -

World Biggest Cosmological Fluid Mechanics Simulation
World Biggest Cosmological Fluid Mechanics Simulation KISTI with KIAS, Korea Institute for Advanced Study, and KASI, Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute, jointly conducted the world biggest numerical simulation, Horizon Run 5, which calculates both calculation of cosmos and creation of galaxies. KISTI allocated 2,500 calculation nodes of NURION, its 5th supercomputer, which corresponds 7.5 petaflops, and ran the simulation for 3 months. The research team selected French fluid mechanics numerical simulation code RAMSES, and they also optimally parallelized it for the maximum efficiency. Newly developed RAMSES makes it possible to calculate gaseous heat and loss by supernova and active galactic nucleus; evolution of contents of heavy elements such as oxygen and iron; and detailed physical evolution process of supermassive black holes. Limitation of spatial size of virtual universe of the previously conducted world biggest cosmological fluid mechanics simulations has made it difficult to find out the correlation between growth of large spatial structures and evolution of galaxies. HR5 is a simulation with expanded scale, so it can realistically reproduce creation and evolution of galaxies based on the standard cosmological model. -

Technology Transfer of Visualization of Security Policy and Large Scale Log
Technology Transfer of Visualization of Security Policy and Large Scale Log KISTI has concluded technology transfer agreement with a private company, UNET System, on the system of visualization of firewall policy and log, named VizPolaris, that makes it possible to secure visibility of firewall policy and analyze invation log, on September 17th, 2020. The system converts text-based firewall-approaching policy and security log to visible images, which can help to intuitively recognize the policy and log. The system has been developed to help more efficiently operate and manage the firewall by managing firewall policy efficiently; deeply tracking IP behaving maliciously; effeciently detecting cyber target attack based on social issues; and providing information on abnormal behavior. The visualization system has functions that recognize and improve both overlapping policies vulnerable to sercurity or unnecessary and problems having strange relations between approaching policies by expressing firewall's approach policies hierarchically. It also helps to identify and handle the first communiation time with malicious IP; major attack behaviors; related social issues; and targeted objects by creating, accumulating, and visualizing various statistical information of massive security logs. In addition, it makes it possible to intuitively indentify malicious hebaviors of invaders or victims by expressing periodic or aperiodic features of network traffics through collecting and analyzing security logs for a long time. The developed technology is expected to make a great contribution to enhancement of security of organizations and companies by supporting swift decising-making and detection and handling of cyber attack of ordinary managers as well as security exeives through securing not only firwall's logs essentially installed and operated by each organization and cyber security center but also visibility of security policy. -
