User authentication, including confidentiality, integrity over untrusted networks, is an important part of security for systems that allow remote access. Using human-memorable Password for remote user authentication is not easy due to the low entropy of the password, which constrained by the memory of the user. This paper presents a new password authentication and key agreement protocol suitable for authenticating users and exchanging keys over an insecure channel. The new protocol resists the dictionary attack and offers perfect forward secrecy, which means that revealing the password to an attacher does not help him obtain the session keys of past sessions against future compromises. Additionally user passwords are stored in a form that is not plaintext-equivalent to the password itself, so an attacker who captures the password database cannot use it directly to compromise security and gain immediate access to the server. It does not have to resort to a PKI or trusted third party such as a key server or arbitrator So no keys and certificates stored on the users computer. Further desirable properties are to minimize setup time by keeping the number of flows and the computation time. This is very useful in application which secure password authentication is required such as home banking through web, SSL, SET, IPSEC, telnet, ftp, and user mobile situation.

Prior art search is a core process of technology management performed by inventors and applicants, patent examiners, and employees in the patent industry. As a result of insufficient academic research on a systematic prior art search methodology, the process has been often carried out depending on the subjective judgment of researchers. Previous studies on exploring prior arts based on semantics have also have the risk of underestimating the similarity of major prior arts due to the nature of patent documents where the same technical ideas are expressed in various terms. In this study, we propose an effective prior art search methodology based on hierarchical citation analysis, which provides a clear criterion for selecting core prior arts by calculating weights according to the relative importance of the collected patents. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed methodology, a case study was conducted to explore the core prior art of one patent in the display field. As a result, 10 core prior art candidates were selected out of the 206 precedent patents.

Recently, society's relationship with science is in a critical phase. There was never a time when the issues involving science were more exciting. Many people are deeply uneasy about the safety and ethics of bio-technology. On the other hand, this could be interpreted as a dynamic process in which a new relationship between science and public is reshaping. And in this new relationship citizen participation in science is not a option but a necessity. This article is a case study of 1970's re-combinant DNA debate. Early 1970's bio-technology saw the emergence of an enormously powerful new methodology, recombinant DNA technology. But, at the outset, this technology posed many potential dangers. Concern over possible hazards prompted hot debates and conflict between leading scientists and community, In this process Cambridge Laboratory Experiment Lion Review Board (CERB) is organized by Cambridge City Coun il for assessing the possible risk of recombinant DAN technique. This is one of the first citizen-initiated participation movement in bio-technology. And the debates has come to be a principal focus for many of the most important questions concerning citizen participation in science. This study make a attempt to analyze CERB case. In conclusion, we can confirm the possibility of civil participation in science policy making and decision making from CERB case study. Still, we also realize the limit of CERB case.

기후 변화 및 환경오염으로 인하여 물부족 국가가 세계적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 특히 집중형 강우의 형태가 많아짐에 따라 홍수피해 및 상수공급의 문제가 사회적으로 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 최근 20여 년간의 급속한 경제성장과 도시화 과정에서 인도네시아는 인구와 산업의 과도한 도시집중으로 지난 1960-80년대 한국이 산업화 과정에서 겪었던 것보다 훨씬 심각한 환경문제에 직면하고 있으며, 자카르타와 반둥을 포함하는 광역 수도권 지역의 물 부족과 수질 오염, 환경문제가 이미 매우 위험한 수준에 도달하고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 찌따룸강 중상류에 위치한 인도네시아 3대 도시인 반둥시는 고질적인 용수부족 문제를 겪고 있다. 2010년 현재 약 일평균 15 CMS의 용수가 부족한 상황이며, 2030년에는 지속적인 인구증가로 약 23 CMS의 용수가 추가로 더 필요한 것으로 전망된다. 이러한 용수공급 문제 해결을 위해 반둥시 및 찌따룸강 유역관리청은 댐 및 지하수 개발, 유역 간 물이동 등의 구조적인 대책뿐만 아니라 비구조적인 대책으로써 기존 및 신규 저수지 연계운영을 통한 용수이용의 효율성을 높이는 방안을 모색하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 해당유역의 용수공급 부족 문제를 해소할 수 있는 비구조적인 대책의 일환으로써 다양한 댐 및 보, 소수력 발전, 취수장 등 유역 내 수리 시설물의 운영 최적화를 위한 지능형 물관리 시스템 적용 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 지능형 물관리 시스템은 센서 및 사물 인터넷(Internet of Things, IoT), 네트워크 기술을 바탕으로 시설물 및 운영자, 유관기관 간의 양방향 통신을 통해 유기적인 상호연계 체계를 제공 할 수 있다. 또한 유역의 수문상황과 시설물의 운영현황, 용수공급 및 수요 현황을 실시간으로 확인함으로써 수요에 따른 즉각적인 용수공급량의 조절이 가능하다. 또한, 빅데이터 분석 및 기계학습(Machine Learning)을 통해 개별 물관리 시설물에 대한 최적 운영룰을 업데이트할 수 있으며, 유역의 수문상황과 용수 수요 현황을 고려하여 최적의 용수공급 우선순위를 선정할 수 있다. 지능형 물관리 시스템 개발의 목적은 찌상쿠이 유역의 수문현황을 실시간으로 모니터링하고, 하천시설물의 운영을 분석하여 최적의 용수공급 및 배분을 통해 유역의 수자원 활용 효율성을 향상시키는 데 있다. 이를 위해 수문자료의 수집체계를 구축하고 기관간 정보공유체계를 수립함으로써 분석을 위한 기반 인프라를 구성하며, 이를 기반으로 유역 유출을 비롯한 저수지 운영, 물수지 분석을 수행하고, 분석 및 예측결과, 과거 운영 자료를 토대로 새로운 물관리 시설 운영룰 및 시설물 간 연계운영 방안, 용수공급 우선순위 의사결정 등을 지원하고자 한다. 본 연구의 지능형 물관리 시스템은 통합 DB를 기반으로 수리수문 현상의 모의 분석을 통해 하천 시설물 운영의 합리적 기준을 제시함으로써 다양한 관리주체들의 시설물운영에 대한 이견 및 분쟁을 해소하고, 한정된 수자원과 다양한 수요 간의 효율적이고 합리적인 분배 및 시설물 운영문제를 해결하기 위한 의사결정도구로써 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Medium and small-sized venture firms as well as multinational companies pay liabilities of foreignness. We defined these costs as three different factors which are liability of handicaps(deficit of time, money, experience and, increase of financial risk), overseas market entry costs(information gathering costs, network building costs, marketing costs, channelling costs, monitoring costs), internationalization preparing costs(forecasting and market research of local markets, ex-ante cooperation with local firms), and then empirically tested how each of these factors affects on their business performances. The more important both Taiwanese and Korean firms consider liability of handicaps, the more bigger they pay overseas market entry costs(H1). On the contrary, the more important they consider overseas entry costs, the more they focus on internationalization preparation(H4) and get the better business performances(H5). The more important Korean firms consider liability of handicaps, the bigger they focus on internationalization preparation, on the contrary, the less Taiwanese firms do this(H2). Taiwanese firms as well as Korean firms rejected Hypothesis 3 and 6 which mean both liability of handicaps and internationalization preparation are no relation with their own business performances.

Weather causes much of the risk of agricultural activity. For efficient farming, we need to use weather information. Modern agriculture has been developed to create high added value through convergence with state-of-the-art Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This study deals with the quality control algorithms of weather monitoring equipment through Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) observational equipment for efficient cultivation of cabbage. Accurate weather observations are important. To achieve this goal, the Korea Meteorological Administration, for example, developed various quality control algorithms to determine regularity of the observation. The research data of this study were obtained from five USN stations, which were installed in Anbandegi and Gwinemi from 2015 to 2017. Quality control algorithms were developed for flat line check, temporal outliers check, time series consistency check and spatial outliers check. Finally, the quality control algorithms proposed in this study can also identify potential abnormal observations taking into account the temporal and spatial characteristics of weather data. It is expected to be useful for efficient management of highland cabbage production by providing quality-controlled weather data.

Coastal cities suffer a great deal of storm and wind damage. The storm and wind characteristics vary between cities. Therefore, a storm and wind damage management system suited for specific characteristics is required for each coastal city. In this study, we analyze the current situation and establish the problem of storm and wind damage management system in regards to urban management, coastal management and disaster management. We also review the storm and wind damage management system for the USA and Japan. We consequently propose a plan to improve the storm and wind damage management system. As a result of the study, in terms of city management, we recommend the compulsory identification of disaster prevention districts, implementation of the integrated coastal city management plan, designation of natural disaster risk mitigation area as disaster prevention district, the division of disaster prevention district into wind damage prevention district, storm damage prevention district, erosion damage prevention district, the building of restrictions at the disaster prevention district by ordinance, etc. In regards to coastal management, we suggest the delegation of authority to delegate coastal erosion management area to the local government, the subdivision of coastal erosion management area into erosion serious area, erosion progress area, erosion concern area, the building restrictions at coastal erosion management area by ordinance, development of erosion prediction chart, etc. In relation to disaster management, we recommend the integration of "countermeasures against natural disasters act" and "disasters and safety management basic act", the local government-led disaster prevention system, the local disaster management network, and the customized local disaster prevention plan, etc.

Although the use of social media by doctors raises important issues concerning medical professionalism, the relevant professional bodies in South Korea have failed to issue clear guidelines on social media usage. The Korean Medical Association's newly revised ethics guidelines do require members to maintain dignity while using social media, but the idea of "maintaining dignity" is far from clear, and its premodern connotation prevents it from being reliably used in professional codes of conduct. The authors of this article examine the concept of maintaining dignity and conclude that once it is clarified and redefined it can and should be used as a viable ethical standard in a variety of contexts, including the use of social media. Social media's unpredictability and uncontrollability, and the blurred distinction between professional/public and personal/private can be a threat to medical professionalism. In order to deal with this threat, the concept of dignity is important. We present three examples in which the dignity of medical professionals is undermined and explain why these jeopardize public trust. We conclude that in order to maintain public trust the Korean Medical Association should provide more detailed guidelines on the use of social media by its members.

In the modern electronic world, the authentication of a person is an important task in many areas of online-transactions. Using biometrics to authenticate a person's identity has several advantages over the present practices of Personal Identification Numbers(PINs) and passwords. To gain maximum security in the verification system using biometrics, the computation of the verification as well as the store of the biometric pattern has to be taken place in the security token(smart card, USB token). However, there is an open issue of integrating biometrics into the security token because of its limited resources(memory space, processing power). In this paper, we describe our implementation of the USB security token system having 206MHz StrongARM CPU, 16MBytes flash memory, and 1MBytes RAM. Also, we evaluate the performance of a light-weighted In-gerprint verification algorithm that can be executed in the restricted environments. Based on experimental results, we confirmed that the RAM requirement of the proposed algorithm was about 6.8 KBytes and the Equal Error Rate(EER) was 1.7%.
