Electronic cash system based on anonymous coins have been invented by David Chaum. However, von Solms and Naccache discovered that such anonymous coins also very well suited to support criminals in Blacoailing. In this paper, we suggest a method that a client informs a bank of the information about blackmailing attack by using Schnorr identification protocol of XTR version at the stage of identification, whenever he is blackmailed. In general, blackmailing is the most serious among the various drawbacks of electronic cash system. Especially, blackmiling to be done when the client is kidnapped brings a fatal result to electronic cash system. But if the Schnorr identification protocol of XTR version is used, we can efficiently defeat blackmailing without assumption required in the existing method to defeat blackmailing.

E-Commerce is suddenly spreading in a daily life. A rights trading system is a system that circulates digital-tickets such as plane tickets, software license, coupon. There are two main approaches so far account-based and smart-card based systems. The NTT Proposed FlexToken, a new smart card based copy prevention scheme for digital rights. They Proposed using pseudonymous self certified keys of Petersen and Horster in order to ensure anonymity of users. However. Petersen and Holster's scheme should register a pseudonymous key pair at TTP (One-time) every time so that users create the signature which is satisfied with unlinkability property In this paper, we propose a new anonymous rights trading system using group signature. This paper has a meaning having applied to digital rights trading system an efficient smart card based group signature.

Messages exchanged among vehicles must be authenticated in order to provide collision avoidance and cooperative driving services in VANET. However, digitally signing the messages can violate the privacy of users. Therefore, we require authentication systems that can provide conditional anonymity. Recently, Zhang et al. proposed conditionally anonymous authentication system for VANET using tamper-resistant hardware. In their system, vehicles can generate identity-based public keys by themselves and use them to sign messages. Moreover, they use batch verification to effectively verify signed messages. In this paper, we provide amelioration to Zhang et al.'s system in the following respects. First, we use a more efficient probabilistic signature scheme. Second, unlike Zhang et al., we use a security proven batch verification scheme. We also provide effective solutions for key revocation and anonymity revocation problems.

Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to identify factors affecting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination intention. Methods: For an anonymous online survey, recruitment notices were posted on an anonymous community by each university, and an online survey was conducted through online form from June to July 2021. COVID-19 knowledge and health-protective behavior were measured using a questionnaire based on previous literature and reflecting the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID-19 Response Guidelines. The psychological antecedents of vaccination were measured by 5C scale. Results: Two-hundred and ninety-four college students (women 67.3%) answered the survey; 179 (60.9%) reported that they would accept a COVID-19 vaccine. The mean scores for COVID-19 knowledge and health-protective behavior were 22.97±5.33 (out of 35) and 9.92±2.22 (out of 12), respectively. For the psychological antecedents of vaccination, the mean scores for confidence, collective responsibility, calculation, complacency, and constraints were 4.45 (± 1.24), 5.61 (± 1.09), 5.09 (± 1.18), 2.42 (± 1.11), and 2.37 (± 1.19) out of 5 points, respectively. The confidence, calculation, and collective responsibility were associated with vaccination intention. Additionally, the top reason for those who were less prone to accept vaccination against COVID-19 was concern about vaccine safety. Conclusion: The higher the confidence in the vaccine and the higher the collective responsibility, the higher the vaccination intention. As it is a factor related to an individual's perception of COVID-19 information, it is necessary to increase confidence in the vaccines through obtaining accurate information on the safety, effectiveness, and side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination.

The self-report assessment has been most commonly used to estimate bullying/victimization (B/V) rates in most domestic and international prevalence studies. However, the presence of many potential biasing factors in such an assessment method, including specific operationalization/measurement strategies and testing conditions, has become an issue due to a considerable variability in reported involvement rates across studies. This study analyzed self-reported B/V involvement rates on Olweus Bullying Questionnaire (OBQ) among 690 Korean middle school students by gender and two different cut-offs (generous vs. strict cut-offs) and examined if the involvement rates were significantly varied by testing conditions such as presentation vs. omission of a precise definition of B/V, anonymous vs. non-anonymous/confidential administration, and the use of global vs. specific questions. Chi-square analyses revealed that boys displayed higher involvement rates on global measures of B/V and on items related to direct forms of B/V, with no significant gender differences on specific measures of relational B/V rates. It was also found that a global rate of bullying and specific rates of verbal B/V were 111% to 157% higher when no definition was provided. However, anonymous vs. non-anonymous administration had no significant impacts on rates of involvement, except for one item; there were also no significant differences in reported degrees of frankness and perceived confidentiality of their responses across two adminstration conditions. Finally, when involvement rates were assessed by using specific vs. global items, they were 68% to 148% higher with binominal correlations in low to moderate ranges. Findings also indicated that global items had a high specificity but a relatively low sensitivity. Implications of these findings were fully discussed for researchers and practitioners in the field of B/V assessment.

인터넷을 통한 전자상거래의 급격한 발전으로 현재는 사용자가 이동하는 상황에서도 전자상거래가 이루어지고 있다. 즉 M-Commerce의 발전방향은 기존의 고가의 물품에 대해서가 아니라 문서, 음악 파일, 동영상과 같은 소액에 대한 상거래가 급격히 발전할 것이다. 이로 인해 현재 소액결제시스템이 발전하고 보급되어있는 상태이다. 하지만 기존의 소액결제 시스템의 문제점인 사용자 익명성에 관한 부분에 대하여 본 논문에서는 OTP형식의 소액결제시스템에서의 새로운 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 거래가 이루어지기전에 이미 서로의 인증이 되는 고객과 이동통신업체에 중점을 두어 고객이 직접 인터넷 콘텐츠 공급업체에 개인정보를 입력하지 않아도 인증을 할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

This paper presents a multiple-watermarking scheme for copyright protection and the prevention of illegal copying of mobile 3D contents with low resolution. The proposed scheme embeds a unique watermark and a watermark certification authority (WCA) watermark into the spatial and encryption domains of a mobile 3D content based on the buyer-seller watermarking protocol. The seller generates a unique watermark and embeds it into the local maximum curvedness of a 3D object. After receiving the encrypted watermark from the WCA, the seller embeds it into the encrypted vertex data using an operator that satisfies the privacy homomorphic property. The proposed method was implemented using a mobile content tool, and the experimental results verify its capability in terms of copyright protection and the prevention of illegal copying.

As with the fast spread of internet uses in recent years, electronic commerce has evolved. The proliferation of electronic commerce has increased diverse forms of fraud cases since internet helps intended criminals remain anonymous. In absence of effective tools to warrant the reliability of parties offering products or services through electronic commerce, consumers have to absorb damages unfairly. Internet escrow service has been considered to be an option to establish reliability between buyers and sellers and to protect consumers from possible fraud cases. However, like other industries, fraudulent escrow services have appeared in internet. This study has been intended to analyze fraudulent internet escrow services and to propose an effective regulatory system of internet escrow services. To do that, this study benchmarked the regulation of the State of California, primarily focusing on the formation of escrow company, regulation of escrow business, and remedies for wrongdoing, so Korea can consider the adoption of similar systems.
