Many international transactions involve the use of security devices, commonly referred to as "guarantees", "bonds", or "standby credits", designed to protect one of the parties from a breach by its counter-party. These security mechanisms may be provided by banks, insurance companies, specialized surety companies, or other financial service firms. Although some legal systems distinguish between "guarantees", "bonds", and "indemnities", these terms are often used as synonyms in the everyday language of international traders. It may therefore be necessary to examine the particular characteristics and nature of the guarantee obligation in order to properly classify the guarantee. Two main categories of guarantee are demand and suretyship. Under a demand guarantee, the guarantor must pay on first demand by the beneficiary. The beneficiary only has to demand payment under the guarantee - there is no need to prove that the principal has actually defaulted on a contractual obligation. Under a suretyship or conditional guarantee, the obligation of the guarantor is triggered by the actual default or contractual breach of the principal, as evidenced in a document such as a court judgement or arbitral award against the principal. Guarantees have been widely used in the international business transactions. Main uses of guarantees are as follows : Performance Bonds/Guarantees, Bid(or Tender) Bonds/Guarantees, Advance Payment or Repayment Bonds/Guarantees, Retention Bonds/Guarantees, Maintenance(or Warranty) Bonds/Guarantees etc.

Cost related to building equipment accounts for about 85% of the life cycle cost of buildings. Therefore proper selection of air-conditioning system is important for reducing the overall cost of buildings. In this study, large capacity ice thermal storage and absorption chiller-heater for air-conditioning a building with a floor area of $9,900\;m^2$ are compared economically. For easy input and analysis, an Ms Excel VBA program has been developed. To consider all the factors of initial and operation costs effectively, an annual equal payment method is proposed. Under the assumptions made in this study, overall cost of an absorption chiller-heater is less than that of an ice thermal storage, but this is not absolute and different outcome may result if different assumptions are made. This study is useful for those who are interested in choosing an economical air-conditioning system for large-size buildings with simple calculations.

인터넷은 컴퓨터와 네트워크의 가상공간을 통하여 그 개방성과 뛰어난 확장성으로 전자상거래의 기본수단이 되고 있으며 경이로운 발전을 거듭하고 있다. 이에 따라 현재 전세계는 전자상거래가 폭발적으로 성장하는 시기를 맞이하고 있다. 일본에서도 최근 일본정부가 2005년까지 초고속인터넷을 3000만 가구에 보급할 계획을 세우고 있는 등 인터넷의 고속화가 빠르게 진전되고 있고, 이용자의 인터넷 접속요금도 저가격화로 변화함에 따라 전자상거래 이용지도 급속도로 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 그리고 TV를 이용한 게임기나 인터넷 전용머신이라는 컴퓨터 이외의 디지털기기로 인터넷을 이용하는 등 전자상거래 이용수단도 다양화될 것이며, 또한 디지털 텔레비전과의 제휴를 통하여 디지털데이터방송을 활용한 전자상거래도 활발히 이루어질 전망이다. 이에 따라 일본의 전자상거래시장의 급속한 성장과 함께 결제수단도 다양화되고 있다. 전자상거래의 결제수단으로서는 현금, 우편환, 은행입금, 수표 외 전자상거래의 특유의 결제수단이라고 할 수 있는 전자화폐, 인터넷뱅킹, E-Debit 등이 있다. 이 가운데 전자화폐는 일반적으로 유통성, 양도가능성, 범용성, 익명성 등 현금이 가지고 있는 기능을 갖추고 있을 뿐만 아니라 원격지송금성, 수송상의 비용절감, 금액의 분할 및 통합의 유연성, 전자성 등의 특징을 갖고 있으며 현금의 단점을 보완하는 기능도 있기 때문에, 앞으로 신용카드를 대체하는 차세대 전자결제수단으로 등장할 것이 확실시된다. 따라서 본고에서는 현재 일본 내의 다양한 주체들에 의하여 개발 실험되고 있는 전자화폐에 의한 결제시스템을 개관함으로써 우리나라에서도 일본과 같은 다양한 전자화폐에 의한 결제시스템의 개발 실험 도입이 절실함을 제안하였다.

Development of an efficient and secure payment system is prerequisite for the construction of electronic payment mechanism in mobile environment. Since current PayWord protocol system generates vendor's certificate for each transaction, it requires lot of operation for transaction. In this paper, we use a session key generated by ID-based tripartite Key agreement protocol which use an Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem over finite field $F_{q}$ for transactions. Therefore, our protocol reduces algorithm operations. In particular, proposed protocol using ID-based public key cryptosystem has the advantages over the existing systems in speed and it is more secure in Man-in-the-middle attacks and Forward secrecy.

The Online business model for purchasing agent service is getting more popular. However, consumers perceive more risk when buying products from foreign online purchasing agents (FOPA) than from common online sellers (COS). This study focuses on finding out how consumers manage risk when they perceive risk and what different risk-reliever strategies they use when buying from high-risk FOPA and low-risk COS. This study has proved the following two. First, when consumers perceive risk at online purchasing, they tend to select risk-reliever strategies, such as the use of communication media, online assurance mark, seller's record, and secure payment to mitigate risk. With the application of those risk-reliever strategies, they built trust with the seller. Second, risk-perception of FOPA influences usage of communication media and check of online assurance mark more strongly than that of COS. On the contrary, risk-perception of COS influences the check of seller record more strongly than that of FOPA. This study helps to explain why FOPA is proliferating, despite its inherent high risk due to the fact that buyers and sellers are separated in time and space and that buyers and sellers have different social and cultural backgrounds. This study also helps managers of E-commerce to relieve consumer's risk-perception and to build trust.

Recently, concomitant with a surge in numbers of Internet of Things (IoT) devices with various sensors, mobile crowdsensing (MCS) has provided a new business model for IoT. For example, a person can share road traffic pictures taken with their smartphone via a cloud computing system and the MCS data can provide benefits to other consumers. In this service model, to encourage people to actively engage in sensing activities and to voluntarily share their sensing data, providing appropriate incentives is very important. However, the sensing data from personal devices can be sensitive to privacy, and thus the privacy issue can suppress data sharing. Therefore, the development of an appropriate privacy protection system is essential for successful MCS. In this study, we address this problem due to the conflicting objectives of privacy preservation and incentive payment. We propose a privacy-preserving mechanism that protects identity and location privacy of sensing users through an on-demand incentive payment and group signatures methods. Subsequently, we apply the proposed mechanism to one example of MCS-an intelligent parking system-and demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of our mechanism through emulation.

This paper analyzed the integration cases of the social insurance systems of Germany, Sweden and United Kingdom. On the basis of the two dimensions - institutional and organizational integration, this study reviewed the historical processes of the social insurance integration of the three countries. In Germany, the institutions and the organizations are divided still now and the sickness insurance funds take charge of the entitlement and collection services. In Sweden, the social insurance system is divided by institutions but the organizations were united. the Inland Revenue has charge of the entitlement and collection. In UK, the institutions and the organizations were united and the entitlement and collection services is assigned to the Inland Revenue. Regarding these historical processes of the social insurance integration of developed countries, this paper evaluated the transfer of the collection service to the National Health Insurance Corporation in Korea, which was enforced in 2011.

Due to the popularity of smartphones and the simplification of financial services, the number of mobile financial services is increasing. However, the security keypads developed for existing financial services are susceptible to probability analysis attacks and have security vulnerabilities. In this paper, we propose and implement a security keypad based on dual touch. Prior to the proposal, we examined the existing types of security keypads used in the mobile banking and mobile payment systems of Korean mobile financial businesses and analyzed the vulnerabilities. In addition, we compared the security of the proposed dual touch keypad as well as existing keypads using the authentication framework and the existing keypad attack types (Brute Force Attack, Smudge Attack, Key Logging Attack, and Shoulder Surfing Attack, Joseph Bonneau). Based on the results, we can confirm that the proposed security keypad with dual touch presented in this paper shows a high level of security. The security keypad with dual touch can provide more secure financial services, and it can be applied to other mobile services to enhance their security.
