The Internet allows firms to serve customers more effectively than ever before. In the B2C context, we examine the interrelationships among information privacy concerns, e-trust, and e-loyalty. The authors extend prior research by incorporating constructs of information privacy concerns into a more holistic conceptual framework. This study answers three research questions: Will the three components of information privacy concerns have a significant effect on e-loyalty through e-trust?, Does e-trust mediate e-loyalty?, Finally, do switching costs have a moderation effect between e-trust and e-loyalty?, The authors examine data from customers who have booked hotel accommodations online. The results support our hypotheses and confirm both the mediation role of e-trust and the moderation role of switching costs. Conceptually, this study provides an empirical validation of information privacy concerns, e-trust, and loyalty linkage. On the managerial level, this research provides insights into critical drivers of loyalty in the emerging online marketplace.

The development of various mobile devices and mobile platform technology has led to a steady increase in the number of online social network (OSN) users. OSN users are free to communicate and share information through activities such as social networking, but this causes a new, user privacy issue. Various distributed OSN architectures are introduced to address the user privacy concern, however, users do not obtain technically perfect control over their data. In this study, the control rights of OSN user are maintained by using personal data storage (PDS). We propose a technique to improve data privacy protection that involves making a group with the user's friend by generating and providing fake text data based on user's real text data. Fake text data is generated based on the user's word sensitivity value, so that the user's friends can receive the user's differential data. As a result, we propose a system architecture that solves possible problems in the tradeoff between service utility and user privacy in OSN.

This paper analyzes the effects of i-PIN focusing on the positive value creation rather than the negative loss reduction from the viewpoint of internet company. Empirical tests are run to examine what determines the use of i-PIN and whether i-PIN users participate in e-commerce, communication, and SNS activity. Our findings are as follows. First, the reason for using i-PIN lies in the experience of privacy infringement rather than a high value on privacy protection. Second, i-PIN users tend to participate in the online activity such as e-commerce, communication, SNS. Third, the marginal effect of i-PIN adoption amounts to 2~9% of increase in the online activity. With the results, we expect that i-PIN adoption leads to sales increase and new customer acquisition as well as privacy leakage decrease and it provides logic to solve social underinvestment problem in privacy protection.

The objective of this research examines the relationships among privacy concerns, self discrepancy, and sense of virtual communities. According to the relevant literature review, we considered information privacy concerns factor as information collection, control, and awareness of privacy practice, and sense of community factor as membership and immersion on virtual communities. This research surveyed for the online community user and employed hierarchical regression model for the moderating effect test. The results of empirical analysis turns out that awareness of privacy concerns practice has negative impact on the self discrepancy, on the other hand, information collection and control factors do not affect. The next finding is internet use duration has moderating effect on the self discrepancy with information control and awareness of privacy concerns practice. The last findings are self discrepancy affect on the community membership and does not affect on the community immersion. It could be a good guide line for the operational direction on virtual community.

Drawing on Protection Motivation Theory(PMT), this study attempts to clarify antecedents that influence the intention to protect individuals' privacy on the Internet. Protection motivation forms through individuals' cognitive appeal involving threat and efficacy. Then protection motivation causes privacy behavioral change. Protection motivation factors are established privacy trust and privacy risk, which are related to privacy attitude and belief. This proposed model is empirically analyzed by utilizing structural equation analysis(SEM). According to the result of the empirical analysis, it is founded that almost paths have statistically significant explanatory power except path from efficacy to privacy risk and path from privacy trust to privacy behavioral intention. This study shows powerful evidence of antecedent factors based on protection motivation of individuals' privacy behavioral intention in online environment.

This study was conducted on the observation that the filter bubble and privacy violation problems are related to the personalized services provided by libraries. This study discussed whether there is the possibility for invasion of privacy when libraries provide services utilizing state-of-the-art technology, such as location-based services, context aware services, RFID-based services, Cloud Services, and book recommendation services. In addition, this study discussed the following three aspects: whether or not users give up their right to privacy when they provide personal information for online services, whether or not there are discussions about users' privacy in domestic libraries, and what kind of risks the filter bubble problem can cause library users and what are possible solutions. This study represents early-stage research on library privacy in Korea, and can be used as basic data for privacy research.

Today, rapid evolution of information communication technology occurring in Korea has extensive influence on our daily life, and increasing awareness about the user experience. As the connected Internet information systems increases, one of the problems happening between users and information systems such as Internet shopping-malls, portal sites, and corporate web sites is related with the information privacy concerns issues. In this research, we aim to analyze factors influencing of the invasion of privacy on intention to use in e-commerce environment. Based on these findings, several theoretical and practical implications were suggested and discussed. Thus, we have reviewed extensive previous studies on information privacy in local and foreign information systems, marketing and other fields. The purpose of this study is to provide future directions of studies on information privacy concerns by analyzing past and recent trends of the studies.

As concerns about users' privacy infringement on Online Behavioral Advertising(OBA) increase, regulators are taking measures such as drawing up guidelines for OBAs, and websites provide OBA guidance in compliance with such guidelines. As a result of reviewing the status of providing OBA guidance on websites, access to OBA guidance pages was rather complicated. In order to analyze the issue from the UI/UX perspective, following the "Guidelines for Privacy in Online Behavioral Advertising" applied to all types of OBA transmitted on websites, this study aims to structuralize a navigation of page movement from two starting points, 1) Main Page, 2) The page where OBA is delivered, to OBA guidance pages. Also, with understanding the problems found in the access and navigation of OBA guidance pages by analyzing features found during the page navigation, such as hyperlinks containing keywords, and movement pages.

With the development and widespread application of online shopping, the number of online consumers has increased. With one click of a mouse, people can buy anything they want without going out and have it sent right to the doors. As consumers benefit from online shopping, people are becoming more concerned about protecting their privacy. In the group buying scenario described in our paper, online shopping was regarded as intra-group communication. To protect the sensitive information of consumers, the polynomial-based encryption key sharing method (Piao et al., 2013; Piao and Kim, 2018) can be applied to online shopping communication. In this paper, we analyze security problems by using a polynomial-based scheme in the following ways : First, in Kamal's attack, they said it does not provide perfect forward and backward secrecy when the members leave or join the group because the secret key can be broken in polynomial time. Second, for simultaneous equations, the leaving node will compute the new secret key if it can be confirmed that the updated new polynomial is recomputed. Third, using Newton's method, attackers can successively find better approximations to the roots of a function. Fourth, the Berlekamp Algorithm can factor polynomials over finite fields and solve the root of the polynomial. Fifth, for a brute-force attack, if the key size is small, brute force can be used to find the root of the polynomial, we need to make a key with appropriately large size to prevent brute force attacks. According to these analyses, we finally recommend the use of a relatively reasonable hash-based mechanism that solves all of the possible security problems and is the most suitable mechanism for our application. The study of adequate and suitable protective methods of consumer security will have academic significance and provide the practical implications.

As internet technology advances, users can share content online, and many sharing services exist. According to a recently published digital forensic study, when playing an online streaming service, you can restore the played video by reconstructing the Chrome cache file left on local device such as a PC. This can be seen as evidence that the user watched illegal video content. From a different point of view, copyright infringement occurs when a malicious user restores video stream and share it to another site. In this paper, we selected 23 online streaming services that are widely used both at home and abroad. After streaming videos, we tested whether we can recover original video using cache files stored on the PC or not. As a result, the paper found that in most sites we can restore the original video by reconstructing cache files. Furthermore, this study also discussed methodologies for preventing copyright infringement in online streaming service.
