This paper proposes an artificial intelligence-based personal information area object detection optimization method in an embedded system to de-identify personal information in video data. As an object detection optimization method, first, in order to increase the detection rate for personal information areas when detecting objects, a gyro sensor is used to collect the shooting angle of the image data when acquiring the image, and the image data is converted into a horizontal image through the collected shooting angle. Based on this, each learning model was created according to changes in the size of the image resolution of the learning data and changes in the learning method of the learning engine, and the effectiveness of the optimal learning model was selected and evaluated through an experimental method. As a de-identification method, a shuffling-based masking method was used, and double-key-based encryption of the masking information was used to prevent restoration by others. In order to reuse the original image, the original image could be restored through a security key. Through this, we were able to secure security for high personal information areas and improve usability through original image restoration. The research results of this paper are expected to contribute to industrial use of data without personal information leakage and to reducing the cost of personal information protection in industrial fields using video through de-identification of personal information areas included in video data.

As the ability to use data becomes competitive power in the data-driven economy, the effort to create economic value by using personal data is emphasized as much as to protect personal data. EU's PSD2(the second Payment Service directive) became the initiative of the Open Banking trends all over the world, as it is the Mydata policy which protects the data subject's right by empowering the subject to control over the personal data with the right to data portability and promotes personal data usages and transfer. Korean government is now fast adopting EU's PSD2 in financial sector, but there is growing concerns in personal data abuse and misuse, and data breach. This study analyzes domestic financial Mydata policy in comparison with EU's PSD2 and focus on Personal information life-cycle risks of financial Mydata policy. Some suggestions on how to promote personal information and privacy in domestic financial Mydata Policy will be given.

Progresses in ICT make the processing and exchange of personal data across international borders often necessary and relatively easy. The challenge lies in protecting fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals, notably the right to privacy and the right to personal information, while encouraging the free and secure flow of information across borders for the continued expansion of online transactions. The key to establishing a functioning international solution for personal data protection is to strike a right balance between the two camps which currently dominate the debate - the advocates of individual privacy rights on one side exemplified by the EU, and the proponents of self-regulation and economic efficiency on the other, represented by the U.S. In the face of a growing tension between the two sides each equipped with their own ideals, a practical solution may lie in utilizing established institutions of standardization such as ISO and IEC as a ground upon which an agreement can take its root.

FinTech service industry has been growing rapidly around the world. It has driven innovation in financial and payment service industry with different channels such as mobile based on Information and Communications Technology (ICT). However, FinTech service is vulnerable to different security threats due to use the valuable data such as personal information and financial information. It is undeniable that collection and use of those information may increase the possibility of identity theft or privacy breach. In this paper will develop a self-checklist for the Simple Payment service users (Privacy Pragmatists) who want to make a rational decision to protect their personal information. The checklist is going to let the users assess the personal information protection by performing the assessment themself when they use the service. The body of this paper is going to analyze the items of the checklist and through the analysis, will suggest a security policy for personal information protection of FinTech service.

In accordance with the revision of the Data 3 Act, such as the Personal Information Protection Act, it is possible to process pseudonym information without the consent of the information subject for statistical creation, scientific research, and preservation of public records, and unlike personal information, it is legal for personal information leakage notification and personal information destruction There are exceptions. It is necessary to revise the pseudonym information in that the standard for the pseudonym processing differs by country and the identification guidelines and anonymization are identified in the guidelines for non-identification of personal information in Korea. In this paper, we focus on the use of personal information in accordance with the 4th Industrial Revolution, examine the concept of pseudonym information for safe use of newly introduced pseudonym information, and generate / use / provide / destroy domestic and foreign non-identification measures standards and pseudonym information. At this stage, through the review of the main contents of the law or the enforcement ordinance (draft), I would like to make suggestions on future management / technical protection measures.

Recently privacy breaches has been an social issues. If we should encrypt the sensitive information in order to protect the database, the leakage of the personal sensitive data will be reduced for sure. In this paper, we analyzed the existing protection algorithms to protect the personal sensitive data and proposed the combined method using the bucket index method and the bloom filters. Bucket index method applied on tuples data encryption method is the most widely used algorithm. But this method has the disadvantages of the data exposure because of the bucket index value presented. So we proposed the combined data encryption method using bucket index and the bloom filter. Features of the proposed scheme are the improved search performance of data as well as the protection of the data exposure.

As the complexity of managing online personal information is increasing and data breach incidents frequently occur, online users feel a loss of control over their privacy. Such a situation leads to their cynical attitudes towards privacy protection, called privacy cynicism. This study aims to examine the role of privacy cynicism in online users' privacy behaviors. Data were gathered from a survey that 281 people participated in and were analyzed with covariance-based structural equation modeling. The findings of this study reveal that privacy cynicism has not only a direct influence on disclosure intention but also moderates an effect of privacy concerns on the intention. The analytical results also indicate that there is a nonlinear effect of privacy cynicism on the outcome variable. This study developed the concept of privacy cynicism—a phenomenon that significantly affects online privacy behavior but has been rarely examined. The study is an initial research into the nature and implications of privacy cynicism and furthermore clarified its role by the nonlinear relationship between privacy cynicism and the willingness to disclose personal information.

There is a growing voice that medical information should be shared because it can prepare for genetic diseases or cancer by analyzing and utilizing medical information in big data or artificial intelligence to develop medical technology and improve patient care. The utilization and protection of patients' personal information are the same as two sides of the same coin. Medical institutions or medical personnel should take extra caution in handling personal information with high environmental distinct characteristics and sensitivity, which is different from general information processors. In general, the patient's personal information is processed by medical personnel or medical institutions through the processes of collection, creation, and destruction. Still, the use of terms related to personal information in the Medical Service Act is jumbled, or the scope of application is unclear, so it relies on the interpretation of precedents. For the medical personnel or the founder of the medical institution, in the case of infringement of Article 24(4), it cannot be regarded that it means only medical treatment information among personal information, whether or not it should be treated the same as the personal information under Article 23, because the sensitive information of patients is recorded, saved, and stored in electronic medical records. Although the prohibition of information leakage under Article 19 of the Medical Service Act has a revision; 'secret' that was learned in business was revised to 'information', but only the name was changed, and the benefit and protection of the law is the same as the 'secret' of the criminal law, such that the patient's right to self-determination of personal information is not protected. The Privacy Law and the Local Health Act consider the benefit and protection of the law in 'information learned in business' as the right to self-determination of personal information and stipulate the same penalties for personal information infringement such as leakage, forgery, alteration, and damage. The privacy regulations of the Medical Service Act require that the terms be adjusted uniformly because the jumbled use of terms can confuse information subjects, information processors, and shows certain limitations on the protection of personal information because the contents or scope of the regulations of the Medical Service Law for special corporations and the Privacy Law may cause confusion in interpretation. The patient's personal information is sensitive and must be safely protected in its use and processing. Personal information must be processed in accordance with the protection principle of Privacy Law, and the rights such as privacy, freedom, personal rights, and the right to self-determination of personal information of patients or guardians, the information subject, must be guaranteed.

The fourth industrial revolution, which is all the rage in recent years in South Korea, comes from Klaus Schwab's book. Schwab claims that recent rapid technological innovation has inevitably determined the future of our society, and regulations on related policies need to be relaxed. The debate on the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the Korean society is also centered on deregulation policies. In particular, it is strongly argued that personal data protection regulation should be relaxed in a big data environments. The Science and technology studies has long criticized technological determinism. The future of technology can be changed by the will of regulatory authorities and the intervention of civil society. In this article, the author examines various discussions at home and abroad around the deregulation of data protection, including de-identification of personal data. Through this, the author criticizes the way of accepting the fourth industrial revolution theory, and draw its implications for the Korean society.
