In Korea, "Act on the Development of Cloud Computing and Protection of its Users" has been enforced since September 28, 2015. Many countries implemented 'Cloud First' policies and global companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, IBM started cloud services in Korea. Under these circumstance, the Act was established for developing the cloud computing industry. The Act includes clauses for encouraging the use of private cloud computing by public organizations, supporting small- and medium-size cloud service providers, and utilizing secure cloud computing services by users. However, some terms appear to be similar but have different meanings from "Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc." and "Personal Information Protection Act". This generated some confusion and conflicts in relation to providing user information to a 3rd party and notifying the intrusion in the Cloud Computing Act. This paper discusses these issues and suggestions for revision of the Cloud Computing Act.

주민등록번호는 주민생활의 편익 증진과 행정사무의 적정한 처리를 목적으로 도입되었으나 인터넷의 발달과 함께 관행적이고 무분별하게 사용되어 왔다. 수집된 주민등록번호가 해킹 등의 유출사고로 명의도용 등 범죄에 악용될 우려가 커지자 이를 근본적으로 해결하기 위하여 2011년 방송통신위원회는 인터넷상 주민등록번호 수집 이용을 제한하는 법 제도적 정책을 추진하였다. 정보통신망법이 개정되어 주민등록번호의 사용이 제한되면서 사업자에게 본인확인, 연령확인 등 법률의무의 이행이나 고객의 분쟁조정 등 목적을 위해 주민등록번호를 대체할 본인확인수단이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 주민등록번호를 이용자가 입력하지 않으며 보편적으로 사용하고 있는 인프라를 이용하고 단순한 입력정보의 변경을 통해 본인확인을 할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

There have been proposed various copyright protection protocols in network-based digital multimedia distribution framework. However, most of conventional copyright protection protocols are focused on the stability of copyright information embedding/extracting and the access control to data suitable for user's authority but overlooked the privacy of copyright owner and user in authentication process of copyright and access information. In this paper, we propose a solution that builds a privacy-preserving proof of copyright ownership of digital contents in conjunction with keyword search scheme. The appeal of our proposal is three-fold: (1) content providers maintain stable copyright ownership in the distribution of digital contents; (2) the proof process of digital contents ownership is very secure in the view of preserving privacy; (3) the proposed protocol is the copyright protection protocol added by indexing process but is balanced privacy and efficiency concerns for its practical use.
