The value of personal information is increasing with the digital transformation of the 4th Industrial Revolution. The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of personal information protection efforts of 2,000 private companies. It uses a stochastic frontier approach (SFA), a parametric estimation method that measures the absolute efficiency of protective activities. In particular, the personal information activity index is used as an output variable for efficiency analysis, with the personal information protection budget and number of personnel utilized as input variables. As a result of the analysis, efficiency is found to range from a minimum of 0.466 to a maximum of 0.949, and overall average efficiency is 0.818 (81.8%). The main causes of inefficiency include non-fulfillment of personal information management measures, lack of system for promoting personal information protection education, and non-fulfillment of obligations related to CCTV. Policy support is needed to implement safety measures and perform personal information encryption, especially customized support for small and medium-sized enterprises.

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the importance of information protection is increasing day by day with the advent of the 'hyper-connection society', and related government financial investment is also increasing. The source of the government's fiscal investment projects is taxpayers' money. Therefore, the government needs to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the project by comparing the public benefits created by the financial investment projects with the costs required for it. At present, preliminary feasibility study system which evaluates the feasibility of government financial investment projects in Korea has been implemented since 1994, but most of them have been actively carried out only in some fields such as large SOC projects. In this study, we discuss the feasibility evaluation of public projects for the purpose of information security. we introduce the case study of the personal information protection program of Korean public institutions and propose a cost-effectiveness analysis method that can be applied to the feasibility study of the information protection field. Finally, we presented the feasibility study and criteria applicable in the field of information security.

A new optical security system for the protection of personal identification information is proposed. Personal identification information consisting of a pure face image and an identification number is used for verification and authentication. Image encryption is performed by a fully phase image encryption technique with two random phase masks located in the input and the Fourier plane of 4-f correlator. The personal information, however, can be leaked out in the decryption process. To cope with this possibility, the encrypted image itself is used in the identification process. An encrypted personal identification number is discriminated and recognized by using the proposed MMACE_p (multiplexed MACE_p) filter, and then authenticity of the personal information is verified by correlation of the face image using the optical wavelet matched filter (OWMF). MMACE_p filter is a synthetic filter with four MACE_p (minimum average correlation energy_phase encrypted) filters multiplexed in one filter plane to recognize 10 different encrypted-numbers at a time. OWMF can improve discrimination capability and SNR (signal to noise ratio). Computer simulations confirmed that the proposed security technique can be applied to the protection of personal identification information.

The personal information is now considered more valuable and important topic in this highly improved knowledge information society. In this research, 50 research papers and government reports between 2000 and 2013 are analysed to understand a trend of academic research of the personal information. To summarize of the result of the analysis, firstly, there are many discussions and emphases to governmental protections of the personal information, mainly in the qualitative and legal system level. Secondly, there are insufficient researches of the personal information, particularly in the academic field rather than government and national research institutes. Thirdly, there are not sufficient investigations to approach influential reasons and relations of cause and effect, though there are much enough researches on the actual and present conditions of the protection of the personal information. To develop the investigation of the personal information, it needs to be considered to research more about systematic approach to the issue of personal information, expansion of research area considering the changeable IT environment, diverse methodological experiment like a metrical way, reformation of investigation system, and improved information management in the private sector.

The importance of the personal information has been increased, there have been a lot of efforts to establish a new policy, certification or law for administrating personal information more effectively and safely. Korean government has operated ISMS and PIMS certification system to assess whether an organization has established and managed appropriate information security system or not. However, it has been addressed the needs for revising and modifying of PIMS and ISMS. It is evaluated there are a few overlapped criteria to assess information management system in both ISMS and PIMS. ISMS-P certification, combining with ISMS and PIMS, is, finally, suggested, in the recent. GDPR is established having an aim of primarily to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU. This study compares GDPR and ISMS-P, focusing on "personal information". It can be expected to contribute as followings. This study can be a criterion for self-evaluation of possibility to violate of GDPR of a firm in preparation for ISMS-P. Second, this study also aims to increase the understanding of the role of ISMS-P and GDPR, among various certifications with the purpose of assessment of the information security management system, by reducing the costs required to obtain the unnecessary certification and alleviating the burden. Third, it contributes to diffusion of ISMS-P newly implemented in Korea.

Recently, the spread of smartphones and various wearable devices has led to increases in the accumulation and usage of personal information. As a result, privacy protection has become an issue. Even though there have been studies and efforts to improve legal and technological security measures for protecting privacy, personal information leakage accidents still occur. Rather than privacy requirements, analysts mostly focus on the implementation of security technology within software development. Previous studies of security requirements strongly focused on supplementing the basic principles and laws for privacy protection and securing privacy requirements without understanding the relationship between privacy and security. As a result, personal information infringement occurs continuously despite the development of security technologies and the revision of the Personal Information Protection Act. Therefore, we need a method for eliciting privacy requirements based on related privacy protection laws that are applicable to software development. We also should clearly specify the relationship between privacy and security. This study aims to elicit privacy requirements and create privacy assurances cases for Privacy Friendly System development.
