In this paper, the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) transaction certification platform was proposed for applying the DID (Decentralized ID) of blockchain with home shopping channels to the IPTV service providers based on the Remocon (Remote Control). In this case, the DID based smart remocon applies biometric identification techniques for personal identification. These individual DID smart remote controls apply distributed ID blockchain, enabling home shopping viewers to conduct reliable ratings surveys through the detection of channel changed information. In addition, this smart remocon utilizes the product purchased information history on home shopping channels, allowing IPTV's home shopping viewers to compare the same broadcasted production information on all channels by blockchain technique and their production characteristics. IPTV service providers can process home shopping order/authorization informations in one-stop service via a number of home shopping broadcasting companies, and DID smart remote controls for home shopping viewers with the checking results of their real-time online access to confirm the FIDO2.0 transaction certification homepage. Thus, the FIDO transaction authentication platforms of IPTV service provider(Telecommunication company) can be expected to improve the benefits of home shopping customers, and to reduce the broadcasting companies' burden of payment, too.

Hyperledger Indy is an open-source implementation of DID, a decentralized identity verification technology. Hyperledger Indy uses the RBFT consensus algorithm, and if there is a lack of consensus with more than a certain number of problem nodes in the pool, data is not added. This problem can be prevented in advance by adding a node, and a node monitoring system was implemented to operate automatically. The node monitoring system continuously checks the status of the pool and automatically adds nodes when there are more than a certain number of problematic nodes to prevent consensus problems from occurring. This proposed method can increase the availability of Hyperledger Indy and is a study that can be referenced in various blockchain services that use consensus algorithms.

디지털 전환 시대를 맞아 일상생활 대부분이 온라인으로 이동하면서 온라인상에서 자신을 나타내는 신뢰할 수 있는 신분증의 필요성이 커지게 되었다. 신원 확인 방법은 중앙 집중식 모델에서 현재는 자기주권신원 모델로 변화하는 과정에 있으며 사용되는 핵심 기술은 탈중앙 식별자 DID(Decentralized Identifier)이다. DID는 기존 신원 체계와 달리 개인의 데이터 소유권을 개인에게 돌려줘 데이터 주권을 지킬 수 있게 해줌으로써 개인의 정보 공유 범위를 결정하는 SSI(Self Sovereign Identity)를 실현하는 기술이다. DID를 이용하면 데이터의 무결성, 투명성을 보장하는 자격 증명(Verifiable Credential, Verifiable Presentation) 발급이 가능하며 이를 검증하는 데이터는 모두 블록체인에 올라가 있는 것이 특징이다. 본 논문에서는 실제 서비스와 유사한 시뮬레이션 환경을 구축하여 자격 증명의 사용자 프라이버시를 보호하는 방법인 BBS+서명 기법에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Recently, each country has been moving to introduce an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. The LCA is a mean of measuring and evaluating greenhouse gas emissions generated over the entire life cycle of a vehicle. Reliable data for each electric vehicle component is needed to increase the reliability of the LCA results. To this end, studies on life cycle evaluation models using blockchain technology have been conducted. However, in the existing model, key product information is exposed to other participants. And each time parts data information is updated, it must be recorded in the blockchain ledger in the form of a transaction, which is inefficient. In this paper, we proposed a DID(Decentralized Identity)-based data collection model for LCA to collect vehicle component data and verify its validity effectively. The proposed model increases the reliability of the LCA by ensuring the validity and integrity of the collected data and verifying the source of the data. The proposed model guarantees the validity and integrity of collected data. As only user authentication information is shared on the blockchain ledger, the model prevents indiscriminate exposure of data and efficiently verifies and updates the source of data.

The field of user authentication in Korea has experienced new dimensions since December 2020. Accredited certificate, which had been in use for 21 years since 1999, has been abolished. Accredited certificates have provided a trust foundation for various ICT-based industrial developments; however, new changes in the authentication sector are also required due to changes in the service and policy environment. Changes in the service environment occur rapidly because of the emergence of new technologies such as AI, IoT, Bio, Blockchain, and the daily use of non-face-to-face environments caused by COVID-19. Even with changes in the service environment, user authentication remains an essential foundation for providing services. This paper summarizes the current status of user authentication techniques, analyzes major changes in the service environment (such as Metaverse) associated with user authentication, and presents the direction of authentication techniques (Decentralized, Invisible, Privacy-preserving) through the derived implications.

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.

Digital content is difficult to distinguish between the original and the replica due to its nature. For this reason, NFT technology using blockchain technology is attracting attention because it can guarantee the proof and scarcity of the original digital content. However, the NFT buyer does not own the copyright to the digital content, but the ownership. In particular, since the minting process of issuing NFTs is possible for anyone, there is a copyright threat to the copyright holder. In this study, we propose a verification protocol based on DID for the process of issuing and transacting NFTs for copyright protection of copyright holders' digital contents. As a research method, the problems of research cases related to digital contents were analyzed and the safety was comparatively analyzed. NFT issuance can only be issued by copyright holders whose identity has been verified through DID, and only users who have completed authentication can participate in the transaction to prevent indiscriminate theft and use of digital content and form a safe and transparent transaction market.

최근 공인인증서가 폐지되고 보다 발급이 간편하고 유효기간이 긴 사설인증서가 부상했다. 더불어 탈중앙화를 핵심 개념으로 하는 블록체인 기반 분산 신원 증명(Decentralized Identity, DID)기술이 대두되고 있다. 서비스 환경의 변화에 따라 사용자 인증 기술도 변화가 요구된다. 더욱이 메타버스라는 새로운 인터넷 환경이 조성되고 있는 바 현재 사용자 인증 기술의 동향을 살펴보고 미래에 사용자 인증이 나아갈 방향성을 제시하는 것은 의미가 있어 보인다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 인증 기술의 개요와 사용자 인증 기술의 변천과정을 시작으로 공개키 기반 구조(Public Key Infrastructure, PKI)와 분산 신원 증명을 중심으로 시장에서의 사용자 인증 기술의 동향을 살펴본다. 나아가 메타버스가 상용화되었을 시기에 사용자 인증 기술이 나아가야할 세가지 방향성(분산화, 플랫폼 초월, 생체 기반 인증 중심)을 제시한다.
