This study analyzed user reviews of Dongbaekjeon and Incheoneum app, which are representative local currencies in Korea, to identify the positive/negative factors of local currency users, and established a marketing strategy based on this. App user reviews were classified into positive and negative based on the star rating, and word cloud, topic modeling, and social network analysis were performed, respectively. As a result, in the negative reviews of Dongbaekjeon and Incheoneum, dissatisfaction with app use and card issuance appeared in common. In positive reviews, keywords such as 'local economy' and 'small business owners' along with satisfaction with 'cashback' appeared. It means that local currency users perceived that their consumption support local economy, and they felt satisfaction in using local currency. Based on the satisfaction/dissatisfaction factors identified as a result of the analysis of this study, we identified what needs to be improved and to be strengthened, and appropriate marketing strategies were established. The text mining method used in this study and research results can provide meaningful information about local currencies to public officials and marketers in charge of local currencies.

Electronic commerce on the network requires a new payment system, electronic cash that carries digitalized information of cash. The new system, however, demands the security and privacy because electronic cash is different from real cash in that it can be easily duplicated, forged, or traced. Therefore, electronic cash system should be guaranteed security and privacy to be used as a new payment mechanism with assurance. First, this paper analyzes the existing electronic cash system involving electronic coins, divisible electronic bills, and electronic license. Then the paper proposes a new electronic cash system which claims to be more efficient in the amount of communication and computation. Finally, this study attempts to solve the problem of electronic license.

디지털 혁명 시대에 경제활동의 변화와 더불어 등장한 전자화폐는 점차 그 영역을 넓혀가고 있다. 하지만 현재 사용되고 있는 전자화폐 시스템은 안전상의 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 각 시스템마다 그것들을 해결하려는 노력을 기울이고 있지만 대부분이 오프라인(off-line) 보다는 온라인(on-line) 지불 처리 방식을 전제로 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 운영되는 전자화폐 시스템의 문제점을 짚어보고 이를 해결할 수 있는 안전한 전자화폐 프로토콜을 오프라인(off-line) 지불 처리에 초점을 맞춰, 설계한다.

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the influencer's impacts of cryptocurrency markets. By using Elon Musk's twitter activity to compute effects of influencer's impacts in cryptocurrency markets, this study aims to analyze influencer's impacts and to offer implications for cryptocurrency markets. This study used the tweets that Elon Musk posted for the period between the April 1, 2019 to July 31, 2021 to conduct event study to evaluate influencer's impacts in cryptocurrency market. The results revealed that (1) influencer's impacts was disappearing, and (2) speculative investments was still made in the cryptocurrency market, (3) duration of the influencer's impacts was becoming short. The results indicate that objective evaluation system for cryptocurrency and sanction of bad cryptocurrencies should be needed, in order to ensure right cryptocurrency investment environment. On the other hand, the government should make policies to create the right cryptocurrency investment environment and flatform.

화폐만 위조의 대상이 아니다. 유사 화폐처럼 사용되는 상품권이라든가 증권, 신분증, 여권 등 그 가지를 함부로 훼손하면 안 되는 광범위한 차원의 각종 '보증서(certificate)'들이 모두 위조의 대상이 될 수 있다. 따라서 앞으로 한국의 보안인쇄기술은 다가올 디지털 사회에서 위조에 대한 불안을 해결하고 진위를 확인할 수 있는 첨단 보안 인쇄 요소 개발을 위한 노력이 절실하다.

Amidst the acceleration of digital transformation across various sectors, the financial market is increasingly focusing on the development of digital and electronic payment methods, including currency. Among these, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) are emerging as future digital currencies that could replace physical cash. They are stable, not subject to value fluctuation, and can be exchanged one-to-one with existing physical currencies. Recently, both domestic and international efforts are underway in researching and developing CBDCs. However, current CBDC systems face scalability issues such as delays in processing large transactions, response times, and network congestion. To build a universal CBDC system, it is crucial to resolve these scalability issues, including the low throughput and network overload problems inherent in existing blockchain technologies. Therefore, this study proposes a solution based on reinforcement learning for handling large-scale data in a CBDC environment, aiming to improve throughput and reduce network congestion. The proposed technology can increase throughput by more than 64 times and reduce network congestion by over 20% compared to existing systems.

It is current status that currently-used 'electronic cash' cannot go beyond the physically and commonly-used as it is used by digitalizing the existing commodity money. Especially in case of bitcoin, though it is issued only by the activity called 'mining' without the issuing body and used in some countries in relatively-active way as it is admitted as the currency in the way that proves the transaction through 'BlockChain' in the form of P2P for the transaction among the individuals, it has several issues due to the characteristics it has. So, this research is willing to suggest the alternative plan to matter of policy, managerial and technical problems regarding the vitalization plan of bitcoin.

비트코인은 각국의 중앙은행이 화폐 발행을 독점하고 자의적인 통화 정책을 펴는 것에 대한 반발로 만들어진 암호화 된 디지털 화폐이며, 2008년 10월에 처음 등장하였다. 새로운 전자화폐로 성장한 비트코인은 현재 여러 나라에서 서비스되고 있으나 보안상의 취약점들이 발견되면서 이를 보완해야 할 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비트코인의 특징과 서비스현황을 알아보고 비트코인의 취약점 중 지나친 익명성, 이기적인 채굴 그리고 51% Attack의 취약점들을 대상으로 분석하고, 대응 방안에 대한 한계를 제시한다.

It is true that Blockchain has been known as a core technology for cryptocurrency like bitcoin (BTC). It is caused by its rapid value rises. Now, one BTC is trading around 10,000 US dollars while it bought just less than one dollar at its first trading in May, 2010. Blockchain makes on-line transactions possible by the safe cryptocurrency swiftly based on P2P network and distributed public ledger while its on-line traffic is rapidly increasing. However, this technology has bigger potential in the fourth industrial revolution era and its application areas will be varied. The evolving intelligent information society needs to make new added value through utilizing, sharing and processing of useful digital information. Obstacles such as hacking and fraud often exist when transactions of digital properties, right transfers, etc. are done through digital network specialized with anonymity. It is expected that blockchain will be a definite solution in this regard. This paper addresses useful development directions and countermeasures for blokchain in the digital economy by analysis of its current status and issues.
