Mobile phone devices and memory card can be robbed and lost due to the carelessness that might be caused to leak personal information, and also company's confidential information can be disclosed. Therefore, the importance of user authentication to protect personal information is increasing exponentially. However, there are the limitations that criminals could easily obtain and abuse information about individuals, because the input method of personal identification number or the input method of password might not be safe for Shoulder Surfing Attack(SSA). Although various biometric identification methods were suggested to obstruct the SSA, it is the fact that they also have some faults due to the inconvenience to use in mobile environments. In this study, more complemented service for the user authentication was proposed by applying Keystroke method in the mobile environments to make up for the faults of existing biometric identification method. Lastly, the effectiveness and validity of this study were confirmed through experimental evaluations.

Recently by the privacy & data security law, when a user registers the online membership, we need to take action to check a progress of identification without resident registration number. On the most of websites, I-PIN is used by identification instead of the resident registration number. However, I-PIN causes dangerous situations if someone steals the ID and a password, the personal data can be easy to exposure. In this paper, we propose the OTP, which can solve all these problems by guaranteeing the identification of unlinkability. This type of method would help the process of membership registration without fixed data like ID and a password in online so it would be very useful to security of private data.

This paper describes a study on a person identification system which can improve currently available biometric systems. In the procedure of PIN(Personal Identification Number) input, holding time, interkey time between key presses are measured and normalized. Person identification is performed by matching using Euclidean distance of these punching dynamics. The experimental results show the possibility of improvement of the overall system performance when keypad dynamics feature is applied to the biometric systems which take PIN input using keypads.

This study analyzed a variety of different kinds of usage patterns of four-digit personal identification numbers(PINs) based on the data collected from students attending at A-university in 2011. According to the analysis, the 4 digit PINs '1234' was being used most frequently which is similar to the findings of the study by the Daniel Amitay research. In addition, almost 50 percent of the students were using the four-digit PINs closely related to their personal information, and more than 10 percent of them were using it only by the reason of easiness to remember or convenience to use. Number '0' was the most frequently used, and girl students used it more than boys did. According to the result of analysis of four-digit PINs, it was found that number '1' was the most frequently used in the first and the third position. It was also found that number '2' and number '4' were the most frequently used in the second and the forth position respectively. Among students who had used number 3 in third position, around 63.6 percent of those students were using number 4 in the forth position in their PINs which showed highest frequency from analysis of double-digits connected together in each position. The analysis of PINs were represented by the polygonal (type) graph with that X-axis showed from first to forth position and Y-axis showed number had been used at each position. Among many polygonal graphs, the form showed an N-type which was called in type 1 took the first place by 35 percent.

As the status of public certificates expired due to the recent revision of the Electronic Signature Act, electronic signature-based public certificates were also lost in the means of replacing resident registration numbers(RRN). As a result, public certification institutions have recently been designated by the Korea Communications Commission as identity verification service providers through a review of the designation of personal identity proofing agency based on alternative means of RRN. However, unlike existing RRN replacements such as i-PIN, mobile phones, and credit cards, the personal identity proofing process for applicants for certificates is different from existing alternatives. The proposed method shows that it is possible to protect users' personal information and provide universal, reasonable, and safe identification services by applying improvements to electronic signature-based personal identity proofing services.

There have been a number of legal & policy studies on the affecting factors of big data utilization, but empirical research on the composition factors of personal information regulation or data combination, which acts as a constraint, has been hardly done due to the lack of relevant statistics. Therefore, this study empirically explores the priority of personal information regulation factors and data combination factors that influence big data utilization through Delphi Analysis. As a result of Delphi analysis, personal information regulation factors include in order of the introduction of pseudonymous information, evidence clarity of personal information de-identification, clarity of data combination regulation, clarity of personal information definition, ease of personal information consent, integration of personal information supervisory authority, consistency among personal information protection acts, adequacy punishment intensity in case of violation of law, and proper penalty level when comparing EU GDPR. Next, data combination factors were examined in order of de-identification of data combination, standardization of combined data, responsibility of data combination, type of data combination institute, data combination experience, and technical value of data combination. These findings provide implications for which policy tasks should be prioritized when designing personal information regulations and data combination policies to utilize big data.

Fingerprinting is a frontier technique that is the most frequently applied for human identification throughout the world. All citizens over 17 year old living in the Republic of Korea must be fingerprinted to obtain a certificate of resident registration. In Korea, for this reason, human identification through fingerprints has been far better developed and used efficiently both in crime scene investigation and in confirmation of an unidentified body. Scientific approaches have been made to accurately extract the metamorphosed fingerprints in various environments. Because most of the studies on fingerprinting have been accomplished with biometric techniques, researches on restoration of human dermal tissue and taking custody data after collecting fingerprints have been comparatively undermined. In this study, a newly innovative method for fingerprint extraction was developed using the polyester film with print powders and the high temperature-moisturizing method. Compared to the conventional fingerprinting method of paper with ink, minutiae numbers of fingerprints were greatly increased in polyester film with print powders after restoration of fingertips by high temperature-moisturization. This newly developed procedure would be an efficient fingerprinting technique which could be utilized in scientific investigation and in personal identification in the future. Furthermore, the new method for restoration and extraction of fingerprints are easy and inexpensive to practice for a number of human identification.

Recently, the application of personal proofing service based on social security number(SSN) replacement means for verifying identity in non-face-to-face transactions is increasing. In this paper, we propose a method of applying differentiated personal proofing service on whether identity verification is necessary in the online service provided by ISP and if it is appropriate to apply a certain level of assurance. By analyzing the requirements related to personal proofing required by current ISPs, we analyze the risks for each of the requirements and propose a method of applying differentiated personal proofing service according to the level of identity assurance guarantee to minimize the risks. In applying the proposed method to online service provision, it is possible to reduce user's unnecessary authentication cost by minimizing the application of personal proofing service based on alternative means, and to help protect user personal information by minimizing excessively collected personal information.

개인식별번호(personal identification number: PIN)는 숫자로 이루어진 짧은 패스워드로서, 은행 ATM, 디지털 도어락, 스마트 디바이스 등에서 사용자 인증을 위해 널리 쓰이고 있다. PIN을 입력하기 위한 전통적인 키패드 방식의 인터페이스는 엿보기나 녹화 등의 공격에 취약하며, 이를 방지하기 위해 다양한 PIN 입력 방식들이 제안된 바 있다. 그러나, 잘못 설계된 PIN 입력 방식은 무작위 대입 공격 등 다른 공격에 대한 안전성이나 사용자 편의성을 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 특히 스마트 디바이스 상에서 PIN을 안전하게 입력하기 위한 다양한 방식들을 조사하고 이들의 특성을 분석함으로써 안전하고 편리한 PIN 입력 방식의 설계를 위한 방향을 제시한다.
