Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) Professor Yoo Il Sun of the Department of Information Security and Cryptography has been named to the "Top 2% of the World's Top Researchers" list published by Elsevier and Stanford University's Professor John Ronnidis. This is a testament to his excellence in the field of information security in Korea and his international research.

Kookmin University Professor Yoo Il-sun is analyzing vulnerabilities in the wired and wireless sections of 5G and conducting research to secure mobile communication networks from external attacks. He is also focusing on developing a new security system in preparation for the era of quantum-resistant cryptography, as security issues are becoming more important with the advancement of quantum computing technology.

Last year, with the support of the National Research Foundation of Korea, he conducted a research on "Internalization of Insulin Pump Security for Safe and Reliable Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes Patients". This is a good example of security research being applied not only to IT devices but also to medical devices, centering on anomaly detection technology and security protocols, and is being recognized as an important example in the future security field. 

"It is a great honor for a researcher to have his or her paper cited in someone else's paper and become the basis for new research," said Professor Yoo. "Together with my colleagues in the lab, I will continue to strive to further strengthen our leading position in domestic information security and provide solutions to global security issues."
