Open source software allows the users to freely use, copy, distribute and modify source code without any particular limitations, and this offers the advantages of low entry cost, fast and flexible development, compatibility, reliability and safety. The emergence of many useful open source projects has the advantage of achieving high levels of output with lower costs and time commitment for software development. However, this also increases the risks caused by the security vulnerabilities of the used open source software. There is still no separate process to verify security in using open source software. In this paper, we analyze the security weakness in open source and propose a secure coding scheme in adopting open source, which is known to be highly reliable from a security point of view.

The amount of UCCs (User Created Contents) has been increasing rapidly and is associated with a serious copyright problem. Automatic logo detection in videos is an efficient means of overcoming the copyright problem. However, logos have varying characteristics, which make logo detection and recognition very difficult. Especially, there are frequent logo transitions in a video, comprising several video contents. This disrupts accurate video segmentation based on logos. Therefore, this paper proposes an accurate logo transition detection method for recognizing logos in digital video contents. The proposed method accurately segments a video according to logo and efficiently recognizes various types of logos. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for logo detection and video segmentation according to logo.

Internet users and copyright holder have been at the center of a severe legal dispute because file-sharing soft (P2P) through Napster aggravates the violation of copyright as well as takes on the world. Though it is natural that we should hold users a criminal penalty for the illegal use of various computer programs, I think that if the supply of a computer program is generally within a circle of development act, program developer ought not to hold users criminally liable for the unintended illegal act of users. Two main issues are addressed in this work: (i) the basis and validity of legal responsibility and condemnation that appear in the precedent set as to P2P in America, Japan, and Korea. (ii) the necessity of both scientific technology development and efficient legal regulation of copyright holder. For this purpose, software development and legal regulation are reviewed analyzed from viewpoint of the criminal law.

IDPF, which builds formats and copyright protection standards of eBooks, has announced ePUB 3.0 as a technical standard of eBooks in October, 2011. This standard includes methods how to represent eBooks and technical specifications to protect eBook content. While technical specifications for content protection describe how to represent encryption and digital signature techniques, they do not identify any technical standards for rights expression but just file names for storages of rights information. It does not provide any unification of copyright information representation and formats used by eBook service companies. When copyright protection techniques for eBooks are used, comparability among eBook readers cannot be expected, even though there is a standard of ePUB. This study suggests a method to maintain compatibility toward eBook DRM by using unified rights information process under circumstances where different eBook service companies use diverse methods. The standard reference software of the model proposed in this study, together with other results of this study, will be offered as a registered open software.

EBooks refer to electronic versions of books which are accessible via internet with forms of digital texts. In recent years, Amazon's Kindle digital eBooks has revealed the possibilities of success of the e-book market, which leads other companies to launch eBook service such as Google's eBook stores and Apple's iPad and eBook service. These reveal that the eBook market is finally showing a substantial amount of growth. Although the issue of technical support of eBook copyright protection emerges from the fast growing eBook marketplace, current technic of commercial DRM for protecting eBook copyright protection still has problems of non-comparability. Therefore, with the current technical status, DRM comparability problems, which have already occurred in music DRM environment, would also happen in eBook environment. This study suggests a standard framework to support eBook DRM comparability. When development of the standard reference software for eBook DRM comparability is completed, the sources will be registered as shareware to be open to public.

In this study, problems of software completeness appraisal are pointed out and their solutions are presented by analyzing appraisal cases and judicial precedents. Completeness appraisal, ready-made appraisal, defect appraisal, and cost appraisal have been classified as and have been evaluated with extant software completeness appraisals. From a legal point of view, and in judicial precedents, however, there is a big difference between the definition of completeness and the completion rate. This is because the degree of completeness is evaluated under the premise that the software's development is complete, whereas the ready-made appraisal inspects the development progress of unfinished software. Often, in cases involving software completion rate, the total completion level is calculated by weighting each step of the software development process. However, completeness evaluations use the software's realization-operation as its sole criterion. In addition, another issue not addressed in existing software completeness appraisal cases is that there is no mention of who is responsible for software defects, whereas in case law, the responsible party is determined by finding who caused the dispute. In this paper, we systematically classify these problems, and present a novel evaluation method that separates software completeness evaluations from software completion evaluations.

사회가 복잡하게 변화됨에 따라 온난화 등의 해결하기 어려운 새로운 문제들이 등장하고 있다. 이를 효과적으로 해결하기 위해서는 창의력과 절차적인 사고가 요구되며 이러한 능력을 키우기 위해 소프트웨어 교육이 필요하다. 이에 따라 2015개정 교육과정에서 정보교과의 비중이 증가하였으며, 2018학년도부터는 중학교 정보교육이 의무화되었고, 그 동안 실제 생활에 접목하여 문제 해결력 및 컴퓨팅 사고력을 향상 시킬 수 있는 피지컬 컴퓨팅이 도입되었다. 하지만 고등학생의 경우 이전 교육과정에서 새롭게 도입되었기에 피지컬 컴퓨팅 수업이 진행되기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 고등학생의 피지컬 컴퓨팅 구현 능력 향상과 이를 통해서 문제 해결력 향상에 어떠한 영향이 있는가를 알아보기 위해서 피지컬 컴퓨팅 교육 프로그램을 위한 과정으로 오래된 운영체제에서만 사용이 가능한 구형 프린터기의 드라이버를 최신 운영체제에서도 사용이 가능하도록 프린터 드라이버를 커스터마이징하여 윈도우 10에서도 사용이 가능하도록 하는 소프트웨어 교육을 설계하였고 이를 고등학생에게 적용하기 위하여 학생들의 사전 사후 검사를 실시하고자 한다. 자원의 재활용과 환경적인 측면에서 그 동안에는 신제품 구입 후 빠른 IT환경의 발전 및 변화로 멀쩡한 하드웨어를 폐기하고, 최신 운영체제에 대응하는 하드웨어를 새롭게 구입해야 했으나, 본 교육과정을 통해 각 가정에 있는 구형 프린터의 재사용을 위한 프린터 드라이버 제작이라는 선순환적인 교육목적을 추구하며 소프트웨어 교육이라는 본질 측면에 좀 더 가까이 다가가며, 해당 하드웨어 제품에 대한 소프트웨어의 저작권 교육도 함께 진행할 수 있으며, 잘 만들어진 소프트웨어의 경우 새로운 시장을 창출할 수 있도록 하는 계기가 될 것이다. 학생들의 흥미에서는 좋은 반응을 보였으나 실제 문제 해결력을 위해서는 저변 확대가 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 오래된 구형 하드웨어를 최신 운영체제에서도 사용할 수 있도록 하는 과정에서의 실생활에 적용되는 유용한 피지컬 컴퓨팅을 보다 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 프로그램의 설계에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.

The importance of software is increasing due to the development of information and communication, and software copyright disputes are also increasing. In this paper, the source of the submitted programs and the files necessary for the execution of the program were taken as the scope of analysis. The large-capacity file transfer solution program to be analyzed provides additional functions such as confidentiality, integrity, user authentication, and non-repudiation functions through digital signature and encryption of data.In this paper, we analyze the program A, program B, and the program C. In order to calculate the program similarity rate, the following contents are analyzed. Analyze the similarity of the package structure, package name, source file name in each package, variable name in source file, function name, function implementation source code, and product environment variable information. It also calculates the overall similarity rate of the program. In order to check the degree of agreement between the package structure and the package name, the similarity was determined by comparing the folder structure. It also analyzes the extent to which the package structure and package name match and the extent to which the source file (class) name within each package matches.

In Korea, the calculation of quantitative similarity is commonly used to gauge the substantial similarity of computer programs. Substantial similarity should be assessed by considering the quantity and quality of areas that show similarity, but in practice, qualitative aspects are reflected by multiplying the weighted value in the calculation of quantitative similarity. However, such a practical method cannot be deemed adequate, considering the fundamental characteristic of the judgment on substantial similarity, which holds that the quantitative and qualitative aspects of similar areas should be considered on an equal footing. Thus, this study pointed out the issue regarding the use of weighted value and sought appropriate ways to take into account qualitative aspects when assessing the substantial similarity of computer programs.
