The value and importance of personal information are increasing due to the increasing number of fields where the Internet environment and computing environment are used, and user authentication technology is also changing. Until now, accredited certificates, which are mainly used in the financial sector, are being replaced with biometric authentication technology due to the problem of revocation. However, another problem is that biometric information cannot be modified once it is leaked. Recently, with the advent of blockchain technology, research on user authentication methods has actively progressed. In this paper, both public certificate and blockchain-based user authentication can be used without system change, and a new DID issuance and reissuance method that can replace the resident registration number is presented. The proposed system can be used without restrictions in a blockchain. However, the currently used DID requires installation of an application at the Interworking Support Center for verification. Since a DID can be authenticated without registering as a member, indiscriminate information collection can be prevented. Security, convenience, and determinism are compared with the existing system, and excellence is proven based on various attack methods, its portability, and proxy use.

Currently, online user authentication is perform using joint certificates issued by accredited certification authorities and simple certificates issued by private agency. In such a PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) system, various cryptographic technologies are used, and in particular, digital signatures are used as a core technology. The digital signature scheme is equally used in DID(Decentralized Identity), which is attracting attention to replace the existing centralized system. As such, the digital signature-based user authentication used in current online services is also applied in the metaverse, which is attracting attention as the next-generation online world. Metaverse, a compound word of "meta," which means virtual and transcendent, and "universe," means a virtual world that includes the existing online world. Due to various developments of the metaverse, it is expted that new authentication technologies including biometric authentication will be used, but existing authentication technologies are still being used. Therefore, in this study, we study digital signature scheme that can be efficiently used for user authentication in the developing metaverse. In particular, we experimentally analyze the effectiveness of ECDSA, which is currently used as a standard for digital signatures, and Schnorr signatures, which can quickly verify a large amount of signatures.

The purpose of this article is to review the current status of PKI, and to check the major results of Electronic signature business in Korea by conducting face-to-face interview. It is expected that the main implications from the PKI users would be considered by the government for improving the environment of PKI utilization in the favor of users.
