Recently, new types of security crimes have been steadily occurring in Korea due to environmental changes such as the development of IT technology, and responding to these threats has become a key national task for the establishment of a safe society as well as individuals and businesses. Meanwhile, as the Zero-Contact Era has arrived since the COVID-19 Pandemics, a new convergence security threat that combines the characteristics of the Zero-Contact Era with the existing IT development is threatening our society. Research to prevent and correct these new levels of threats is continuously required in this study. Chapter 1 examined the causes of new convergence security threats and Chapter 2 discussed cybersecurity, fake news, remote voting·work and video security threats as five major threats.

This research analyzes the potential reform of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act through the new institutionalist approach. The immunity provision of the Section 230, which has developed the U.S. Internet content regulation regime and protected big tech firms, is facing a significant change today. The chambers of Congress have attempted to limit the immunity shield for platforms with bipartisanship. As a result of analysis through the perspective of historical institutionalism, a critical change could come from external events including fake news controversies and data privacy scandals, as well as endogenous factors such as conflicts among actors. The discussion deals with the possible direction of Internet content regulation reforms in Korea.

최근 전 세계적으로 '가짜뉴스', '가짜 연예인 음란 동영상' 및 '지인 능욕'에 사용되는 인공지능 기반의 딥페이크(Deepfakes)기술이 사회적인 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 딥페이크 기술이란 딥러닝 기술을 이용해 악의적으로 조작된 음성, 영상, 이미지 등을 만들어 내는 방법으로, 인공지능 기술의 발전에 맞추어 더욱더 빠르고 정교한 생성 기술이 등장하고 있다. 이러한 딥페이크 기술은 빠른 개발 속도와 쉬운 접근성을 기반으로 다양한 범죄에 악용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 딥페이크 생성 기술을 설명하고, 이를 효율적으로 탐지 할 수 있는 다양한 데이터 기반 딥페이크 탐지 기술의 현황을 설명한다.

To compare whether broadcast fact-checking news, which aims to overcome the limitations of objective reporting, ensures fairness, we analyzed 227 fact-checked news stories aired on the main news of KBS, MBC SBS, TV Chosun, JTBC MBN, and YTN from January 1, 2022 to May 31, 2022, when the 20th presidential and local election campaigns were held. The analysis showed clear differences in fact-checking targets and narratives by broadcasters. In general, MBC, JTBC,and YTN were more likely to favor liberal parties such as the Democratic Party, while TV Chosun had a lot of narratives favoring the conservative camp. SBS and MBN were relatively neutral. KBS seemed to be trying to remain outwardly neutral. SBS and TV Chosun were the most active in fact-checking, but they covered a wide range of issues and were characterized by a bias toward contextualizing issues that viewers were curious about, rather than clarifying the facts. The projection of ideological bias by broadcasters in fact-checking narratives is a challenge that needs to be overcome.

유럽핵물리입자연구소, CERN은 대형강입자가속기(LHC)가 작동할 때 얻을 수 있는 순간의 장면을 스냅샷으로 남기기 위해 충분한 민감도와 동작 범위를 가진 탐지기가 필요했다. 이렇게 개발된 방사선 탐지기술은 유럽우주국 ESA에 의해 우주로 날아갔다. 그리고 이제는 역사적인 예술품을 분석하고, 위조품을 발견하는 데 사용되고 있다.

With the recent development of hardware performance and artificial intelligence technology, sophisticated fake videos that are difficult to distinguish with the human's eye are increasing. Face synthesis technology using artificial intelligence is called Deepfake, and anyone with a little programming skill and deep learning knowledge can produce sophisticated fake videos using Deepfake. A number of indiscriminate fake videos has been increased significantly, which may lead to problems such as privacy violations, fake news and fraud. Therefore, it is necessary to detect fake video clips that cannot be discriminated by a human eyes. Thus, in this paper, we propose a deep-fake detection model applied with Bidirectional Convolution LSTM and Attention Module. Unlike LSTM, which considers only the forward sequential procedure, the model proposed in this paper uses the reverse order procedure. The Attention Module is used with a Convolutional neural network model to use the characteristics of each frame for extraction. Experiments have shown that the model proposed has 93.5% accuracy and AUC is up to 50% higher than the results of pre-existing studies.

현재 영어 기반의 기술 팩트체크 서비스는 다양하지만 한국 기반 팩트체크 서비스는 비기술적(언론인 등 전문가의 교차 검증을 통한 팩트체크)이 주를 이루고 있으며, 기술 팩트체크 서비스가 많이 시행되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기술적인 요소와 비기술적인 요소의 서비스를 함께 사용할 때 허위 정보를 가장 정확하게 식별할 수 있기 때문에 한국어 기반의 자연어 처리 기술을 이용한 팩트체킹 서비스를 제안한다.

Distinguishing border between news and advertising is disappearing. Traditional journalism considered editorial part deals news and ad part handle commercial messages. But now this classification is meaningless. Current news consumers do not separate advertising content and non-advertising content. In Korea, making fake news or paid news pages is becoming social problem. Fake news uses various camouflages to pretend to be real news. This paper descriptively analyzed Korean fake news cases and suggested some guidelines for publishing news. We analyzed 3 major newspaper web sites from July to September, 2014. These three newspapers publish section pages everyday containing fake news or sponsored news. Totally more than one thousand articles were selected for content analysis. We coded the numbers of fake news, day of the week, the rate of sponsored news, average fake news publication number per pages, the conformity between news and advertising, and the type of fake news. We also coded the number of sponsored news article in day sections. We used method of comparing the advertising contents and news articles. As a result, 24.8% of news article were published for the advertising sponsors. Advertorial or fake news were sometimes arranged same pages the same day. We coded the conformity between same advertising and news content. More than 60 percent (60.9%) of fake news match with their sponsors. PR style of fake news is top and advertising type of fake news is the lowest.

This study aims to critically discuss the problems that need to be solved from a humanities perspective in order to utilize big data. It identifies and discusses three research problems that may arise from collecting, processing, and using big data. First, it looks at the fake information circulating with regard to problems with the data itself, specifically looking at article-type advertisements and fake news related to politics. Second, discrimination by the algorithm was cited as a problem with big data processing and its results. This discrimination was seen while searching for engineers on the portal site. Finally, problems related to the invasion of personal related information were seen in three categories: the right to privacy, the right to self-determination of information, and the right to be forgotten. This study is meaningful in that it points out the problems facing in the aspect of big data utilization from the humanities perspective in the era of big data and discusses possible problems in the collection, processing, and use of big data, respectively.

Fake news threaten democratic elections and causes social conflicts, resulting in major damage. However, the concept of fake news is hard to define, as there is a saying, "News is not fake, fake is not news." Fake news, however, has irreversible characteristics that can not be recovered or reversed completely through post-punishment of economic and political benefits. It is also rapidly spreading in the early days. Therefore, it is very important to preemptively detect these types of articles and prevent their blind proliferation. The existing countermeasures are focused on reporting fake news, raising the level of punishment, and the media & academia to determine the authenticity of the news. Researchers are also trying to determine the authenticity by analyzing its contents. Apart from the contents of fake news, determining the behavioral characteristics of the promoters and its qualities can help identify the possibility of having fake news in advance. The online community has a fake news interception and response tradition through its long-standing community-based activities. As a result, I attempted to model the fake news by analyzing the affirmation-denial analysis and posting behavior by securing the web board crawl of the 'M community' bulletin board during the 2017 Korean presidential election period. Random forest algorithm deemed significant. The results of this research will help counteract fake news and focus on preemptive blocking through behavioral analysis rather than post-judgment after semantic analysis.
