The purpose of this study is to suggest areas for improvement of KakaoTalk. KakaoTalk is used by everyone in Korea, and even elementary school students have been using it a lot recently. Therefore, to help parents feel safe about their children using KakaoTalk, and to ensure that children are not worried about their parents when using them, I would like to examine each user's experience to pinpoint the problem. As a method of study, a survey and interview was conducted on eight parents and eight children using KakaoTalk. Through this, the parents could not trust KakaoTalk in terms of reliability when they saw their children using KakaoTalk. Based on this research, we hope to improve KakaoTalk through further research so that parents and children can use Kakao Talk safely.

스마트폰의 확산과 그에 따른 카카오톡의 괄목할 열풍과 발맞추어 대학생들의 카카오톡 사용 현황에 대한 조사를 실시한다. 본 연구에서는 카카오톡 사용에 대한 양적인 조사를 연구 범위로 하고 조사방법론으로는 대전의 한 대학교의 학생들에게 설문을 통하여 카카오톡의 사용시간을 파악하는 설문방법을 취한다. 먼저 성별과 학년별 스마트폰 종류의 차이가 있는지를 분석하고, 카카오톡 사용시간에 있어 스마트폰 종류, 성별에 따른 차이와 학년에 따른 차이를 SPSS 20 통계패키지를 이용하여 검증한다. 검증결과는 성별과 학년별로 스마트폰의 종류는 차이가 없음이 나타났다. 또한 스마트폰 종류별로도 사용시간에 차이가 없었다. 하지만 성별 스마트폰 사용시간은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으나 학년별로는 유의한 차이가 없었다.

I made an analysis on the case of Kakao Talk, which is Korean top mobile instant messaging service, to find the growth potential of Korean Social Network Service in the global market. First, I found that unlike the PC messenger services, Kakao Talk is not only unlimited in mobile IM service provider but also has evolving into a social network service firm. Second, attempts with a variety of social services such as photo-based Kakao Story and Marketing Platform for Mobile Game, Kakao Talk successfully landed as a SNS company. Third, with 'Plus Friends' Service, soon-to-be launched Avatar and App Market Service, Kakao Talk is evolving into social media and social platforms. The big success of Kakao Talk in Korean market is expanding and reproducing into Japanese and Southeast Asian markets through the 'Line' serviced by NHN. Line is applying the proven success stories of Kakao Talk to the Japanese and Southeast Asian markets. It means that Kakao and Line, both are mobile IM services, have raised the possibility of success in the global SNS market although online web-based SNS Cyworld has failed in the global market.

KakaoTalk has the highest market share among domestic messengers. As such, KakaoTalk's conversation content is an important evidence in digital forensics, and the conversation is stored in the form of an encrypted database on a user's device. In addition, macOS has the characteristic that it is difficult to access because the disk encryption function is basically activated. The decryption method of the KakaoTalk database for Windows has been studied, but the decryption method has not been studied for KakaoTalk for macOS. In this paper, research the decryption method of the KakaoTalk database for macOS and a way to Brute-Force plan using the characteristics of KakaoTalk's UserID and compare it with KakaoTalk for Windows to examine the commonalities and differences. The results of this paper are expected to be used to analyze users' actions and events when investigating crimes using macOS.

최근 모바일 메신저 챗봇 API를 이용한 서비스 시장이 활성화되고 있다. 챗봇은 대화형 인터페이스 상에서 규칙 또는 AI로 유저와의 인터랙션을 하는 서비스로 지도, 쇼핑, 금융 등의 앱들이 챗봇 안으로 흡수되어 앱이나 웹에 별도로 접속하지 않아도 된다는 이점이 있다. 챗봇에 필요한 자동응답 API는 대표적으로 텔레그램, 페이스북 메신저, 네이버 톡톡, 카카오톡과 같은 메신저 앱에서 구현 가능하다. 아직까지 카카오톡 메신저는 챗봇 구현 환경이 제한적이라는 단점이 있지만, 국내 메신저 사용시간 점유율 94%를 차지하여 유저 접근성이 뛰어나다. 따라서 이 서비스의 타겟층이 주부 및 1인 가구이므로 서비스 범위보다는 접근성을 기준으로 두고 메신저 앱을 카카오톡으로 선택했다. 본 논문은 카카오톡 자동응답 API를 이용한 대화형 서비스를 연구 및 개발하는데 중점을 두고 있다. 이 대화형 서비스는 요리에 관한 전반적인 정보를 제공하며, 서비스 이용자에게 간편한 요리환경을 제공할 수 있도록 한다. 다양한 세부 기능을 확장한다면 효율적인 대화형 서비스가 될 것으로 사료된다.
