  • With the development of data technology, storing and sharing of data has increased, resulting in privacy invasion. Although de-identification technology has been introduced to solve this problem, it has been proved many times that identifying individuals using de-identified data is possible. Even if it cannot be completely safe, sufficient de-identification is necessary. But current laws and regulations do not quantitatively specify the degree of how much de-identification should be performed. In this paper, we propose an appropriate de-identification criterion considering the time required for re-identification. We focused on the case of using the k-anonymity model among various privacy models. We analyzed the time taken to re-identify data according to the change in the k value. We used a re-identification method based on linkability. As a result of the analysis, we determined which k value is appropriate. If the generalized model can be developed by results of this paper, the model can be used to define the appropriate level of de-identification in various laws and regulations.

  • As personal data breach reared up as a problem domestically and globally, organizations appointing chief privacy officers (CPOs) are increasing. Related Korean laws, 'Personal Data Protection Act' and 'the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.' require personal data processing organizations to appoint CPOs. Research on the characteristics and role of CPO is called for because of the importance of CPO being emphasized. There are many researches on top management's role and their impact on organizational performance using the Upper Echelon theory. This study investigates what influence the characteristics of CPO gives on the organizational privacy performance. CPO's definition varies depending on industry, organization size, required responsibility and power. This study defines CPO as 'a person who takes responsibility for all the duties on handling the organization's privacy,' This research assumes that CPO characteristics such as role, personality and background knowledge have an influence on the organizational privacy performance. This study applies the part relevant to the upper echelon's characteristics and performance of the executives (CEOs, CIOs etc.) for CPO. First, following Mintzberg and other managerial role classification, information, strategic, and diplomacy roles are defined as the role of CPO. Second, the "Big Five" taxonomy on individual's personality was suggested in 1990. Among these five personalities, extraversion and conscientiousness are drawn as the personality characteristics of CPO. Third, advance study suggests complex knowledge of technology, law and business is necessary for CPO. Technical, legal, and business background knowledge are drawn as the background knowledge of CPO. To test this model empirically, 120 samples of data collected from CPOs of domestic organizations are used. Factor analysis is carried out and convergent validity and discriminant validity were verified using SPSS and Smart PLS, and the causal relationships between the CPO's role, personality, background knowledge and the organizational privacy performance are analyzed as well. The result of the analysis shows that CPO's diplomacy role and strategic role have significant impacts on organizational privacy performance. This reveals that CPO's active communication with other organizations is needed. Differentiated privacy policy or strategy of organizations is also important. Legal background knowledge and technical background knowledge were also found to be significant determinants to organizational privacy performance. In addition, CPOs conscientiousness has a positive impact on organizational privacy performance. The practical implication of this study is as follows: First, the research can be a yardstick for judgment when companies select CPOs and vest authority in them. Second, not only companies but also CPOs can judge what ability they should concentrate on for development of their career relevant to their job through results of this research. Cultural social value, citizen's consensus on the right to privacy, expected CPO's role will change in process of time. In future study, long-term time-series analysis based research can reveal these changes and can also offer practical implications for government and private organization's policy making on information privacy.

  • The rapid changes in telecommunications have exercised an important influence on the telecommunications law system, including the protection of the privacy. It was a decisive assignment that telecommunications law protected the confidentiality of privacy. But in new digitalized telecommunications circumstance, every steps of the conveyance of the individual informations should be protected, in particular by telecommunications carriers as a subject of the protection of information. EU Privacy Directive in 2003 and the amendment of Communications Act in U. S. A. in 1996 have reflected the necessity of the privacy from a new point of view. In Korea, "Protection of Privacy Act" has been established as general law as to the protection of privacy and "Electronic Communications Net-work Act" and "Location Data Act" have been functioned as special law in telecommunications, and these laws have developed the legal systems about the protection of privacy in telecommunications. Such a legal system could be affirmatively evaluated. But the regulations should be reformed in a way that corresponds to the detailed types of the privacy and it should be devised a method, that the consent of users could be fulfilled practically.

  • Countries around the world have recognized the importance of personal information protection and have discussed protecting the rights of data subjects in various forms such as laws, regulations, and guidelines. PbD (Privacy by Design) is one of the concepts that are commonly emphasized as a precautionary measure for the protection of personal information, and it is starting to attract attention as an essential element for protecting the privacy of information subjects. However, the concept of PbD to prioritize individual privacy in system development or service operation in advance is still only at the declarative level, so there is relatively little discussion on specific methods to implement it. Therefore, this study discusses which principles and rights should be prioritized to implement PbD based on the basic principles of GDPR and the rights of data subjects. This study is meaningful in that it suggests a plan for the practical implementation of PbD by presenting the privacy considerations that should be prioritized when developing systems or services in the domestic environment.

  • An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone and also referred to as an unpiloted aerial vehicle and a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. ICAO classify unmanned aircraft into two types under Circular 328 AN/190. Unmanned aircraft, which is the core of the development of the aviation industry. However, there are also elements of the legal dispute. Unmanned aircraft are manufactured in small size, it is possible to shoot a record peripheral routes stored in high-performance cameras and sensors without the consent of the citizens, there is a risk of invasion of privacy. In addition, the occurrence of the people of invasion of privacy is expected to use of civilian unmanned aircraft. If the exposure of private life that people did not want for unmanned aircraft has occurred, may occur liability to the operator of unmanned aircraft, this is a factor to be taken into account for the development of unmanned aircraft industry. In the United States, which is currently led by the unmanned aircraft industry, policy related to unmanned aircraft, invasion of privacy is under development, is preparing an efficient measures making. Unmanned aircraft special law has not been enforced. So there is a need for legal measures based on infringement of privacy by the unmanned aircraft. US was presented Privacy Protection Act of unmanned aircraft (draft). However Korea has many laws have been enacted, to enact a new law, but will be able to harm the legal stability, there is a need for the enactment of laws for public safety of life. Although in force Personal Information Protection Law, unmanned aerospace, when the invasion of privacy occurs, it is difficult to apply the Personal Information Protection Law. So, it was presented a privacy protection bill with infringement of privacy of unmanned aircraft in the reference US legislation and the Personal Information Protection Act.

  • AI requires learning, and learning requires data. Some data is copyright-free, such as mountains, oceans, and terrain, while others are restricted by various laws, such as privacy and copyright laws. This thesis investigates how data subjects can voluntarily consent and participate in the collection, utilization, and distribution of their data, overcoming legal restrictions. We design a system that creates specific spaces in public places, engages businesses to define the data needed for learning, and rewards citizens for voluntarily participating in the collection of Multimodal MyData in specific spaces. In addition, a system that enables authentication, distribution, and sale/resale of generated data in connection with the government's MyData platform will be implemented. If this is led by the government, it will be possible to collect data for learning in a new way without legal sanctions for each learning domain, which will further revitalize the development and utilization of AI technology.
