Abstract
The Resident Registration Number(RRN) system has been effectively acted as a national identification system since it was enforced. On the other hand, there are some problems such as leakages of personal informations including RRNs on a large scale and each RRN makes a pair with each person in all areas of the society. Nevertheless leakages of them might cause a big damage, there is no radical countermeasure for they are never changed in actual fact. In Republic of Korea, a RRN acts as a primary key of a database, so it has to be protected by severing the connectivity between leaked RRNs and the other personal data. In this paper, the Unconnected Random Personal Identification Number system is proposed for preventing damage of data spills by removing a dependency which the RRN has. Furthermore, this paper suggests the solutions against some potential issues in the system.
