Mobile Crowdsourcing (MCS) has become an emerging paradigm evolved from crowdsourcing by employing advanced features of mobile devices such as smartphones to perform more complicated, especially spatial tasks. One of the key procedures in MCS is to collect answers from mobile users (workers), which may face several security issues. First, authentication is required to ensure that answers are from authorized workers. In addition, MCS tasks are usually location-dependent, so the collected answers could disclose workers' location privacy, which may discourage workers to participate in the tasks. Finally, the overhead occurred by authentication and privacy protection should be minimized since mobile devices are resource-constrained. Considering all the above concerns, in this paper, we propose a lightweight and privacy-preserving answer collection scheme for MCS. In the proposed scheme, we achieve anonymous authentication based on traceable ring signature, which provides authentication, anonymity, as well as traceability by enabling malicious workers tracing. In order to balance user location privacy and data availability, we propose a new concept named current location privacy, which means the location of the worker cannot be disclosed to anyone until a specified time. Since the leakage of current location will seriously threaten workers' personal safety, causing such as absence or presence disclosure attacks, it is necessary to pay attention to the current location privacy of workers in MCS. We encrypt the collected answers based on timed-release encryption, ensuring the secure transmission and high availability of data, as well as preserving the current location privacy of workers. Finally, we analyze the security and performance of the proposed scheme. The experimental results show that the computation costs of a worker depend on the number of ring signature members, which indicates the flexibility for a worker to choose an appropriate size of the group under considerations of privacy and efficiency.

본 논문은 다자간 환경에서 프라이버시를 보호하는 효율적인 DBSCAN 군집화 기법을 제안한다. 기존 DBSCAN 군집화 기법에 가짜 데이터 삽입을 통한 프라이버시 보호 기법을 적용해 다자간 환경에서 프라이버시를 보호하는 기법으로 확장했다. 기존의 프라이버시를 보호하는 다자간 환경의 군집화 기법들은 비효율적이어서 실제 환경에 적용하기 힘들지만 제안한 기법은 이러한 문제를 해결한 매우 효율적인 기법이다. 본 기법은 다자간 환경뿐만 아니라 비 다자간 환경에도 적용 가능한 효율적인 기법이다.

The growing concern for the protection of personal information has made it critical to implement effective technologies for privacy and data management. By observing the limitations of existing approaches, we found that there is an urgent need for a flexible, privacy-aware system that is able to meet the privacy preservation needs at both the role levels and the personal levels. We proposed a conceptual system that considered these two requirements: a graph-based, access control model to safeguard patient privacy. We present a case study of the healthcare field in this paper. While our model was tested in the field of healthcare, it is generic and can be adapted to use in other fields. The proof-of-concept demos were also provided with the aim of valuating the efficacy of our system. In the end, based on the hospital scenarios, we present the experimental results to demonstrate the performance of our system, and we also compared those results to existing privacy-aware systems. As a result, we ensured a high quality of medical care service by preserving patient privacy.

The recently revised "Telecommunications Business Promotion and Personal Data Protection Act" is an important legal milestone in promoting the Korean telecommunications infrastructure and industry as well as protecting individuals' personal data and individuals' rights to privacy. Special characteristics of information security and privacy protection services including public goods' feature, adaptiveness, relativity, multi-dimensionality, and incompleteness, are reviewed. The responsibility of chief security/privacy officers in the IT industry, and the fairness and effectiveness of the criminal negligence in the Telecommunications Act are analyzed. An assessment of the rationale behind the act as well as a survey of related laws and cases in different countries, offers the following recommendations : i) revise the act and develop new systems for data protection, ii) grant a stay of execution or reduce the sentence given extenuating circumstances, or iii) use technical and managerial measures in data protection for exemption from criminal negligence.

개인정보보호법이 2012년 3월 30일 시행을 하였다. 일반적으로 개인정보를 관리하는 DB서버는 보안을 강화하기 위한 보안시스템을 갖추고 있으나, PC에서는 개인정보보호를 위한 취약점 분석과 보안성 자가진단에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 PC에서 개인정보보호 관련 정보를 검색하고, 암호화하여 보안성을 강화하고 삭제대상 파일은 복구 불가능하게 삭제한다. PC에서 검색된 취약성 분석은 사용자계정점검, 공유폴더점검, 서비스 방화벽 점검, 화면보호기, 자동패치업데이트를 점검한다. 점검 후에 취약점에 관한 정량화 분석과 표현을 통해, 보안성 강화를 위한 점검리스트을 작성해서 보여주고, PC보안 관리를 반자동화하여 서버에서 관리하여 작동시킨다. 본 논문을 통해 PC개인정보보호와 PC보안강화로 국민의 경제적 피해와 고충을 줄이는데 기여할 것이다.

In recent years, data privacy has become increasingly important. The goal of network cryptography is to protect data while it is being transmitted over the internet or a network. Social media and smartphone apps collect a lot of personal data which if exposed, might be damaging to privacy. As a result, sensitive data is exposed and data is shared without the data owner's consent. Personal Information is one of the concerns in data privacy. Protecting user data and sensitive information is the first step to keeping user data private. Many applications user data can be found on other websites. In this paper, we discuss the issue of privacy and suggest a mechanism for keeping user data hidden in other applications.

As the area covered by the CPS grows wider, agencies such as public institutions and critical infrastructure are collectively measuring and evaluating information security capabilities. Currently, these methods of measuring information security are a concrete method of recommendation in related standards. However, the security controls used in these methods are lacking in connectivity, causing silo effect. In order to solve this problem, there has been an attempt to study the information security management system in terms of maturity. However, to the best of our knowledge, no research has considered the specific definitions of each level that measures organizational security maturity or specific methods and criteria for constructing such levels. This study developed an information security maturity model that can measure and manage the information security capability of critical infrastructure based on information provided by an expert critical infrastructure information protection group. The proposed model is simulated using the thermal power sector in critical infrastructure of the Republic of Korea to confirm the possibility of its application to the field and derive core security processes and goals that constitute infrastructure security maturity. The findings will be useful for future research or practical application of infrastructure ISMSs.

IoBT시장은 2023년까지 317억 달러로 성장할 것으로 예측되며, 센서 및 웨어러블 디바이스와 같은 IoBT 장비의 수가 급격히 늘어나고 있다. IoBT 장비들로부터 수집된 생체 정보와 같은 민감한 데이터를 효율적이고 안전하게 처리하기 위해 많은 노력이 필요하다. 하지만 초경량화, 저전력화된 IoBT 장비들은 보안적인 측면에서 취약한 상황이다. 본 논문은 Fog computing을 적용하여 전장과 지휘관 사이에서 결심 및 통제에 필요한 시각화 자료를 신속하게 제공하고 IoBT 장비의 보안 사항과 공격에 따른 완화 기법을 수행할 수 있는 새로운 네트워크 아키텍처를 제공하고자 한다.
