In this paper, we propose to improve the designation examination criteria of agencies that provide personal identity proofing based on the resident registration number (RRN), a 13-digit number uniquely assigned by the government to identify Korean citizens. In online commerce, etc., the personal identity proofing agency (PIPA) is a place where online users can prove their personal identity by presenting an alternative means instead of their RRN. The designation examination criteria for PIPAs established in 2012 is a revision of the relevant current laws, and there is a problem in applying the designation examination for alternative means of RRN as the current examination standard. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to make the current examination criteria applicable to the newly designated examination of the personal identity proofing service provider based on the current RRN alternative method. According to the current designation examination criteria, only those who satisfy all the examination criteria are designated as the PIPA. However, in reality, it is not in line with the purpose of regulatory reform to require that all examination criteria be satisfied. In the proposed method, it is proposed to apply the standard score system for designation of PIPAs, to make the law current, to secure legal compliance, and to establish a new examination standard to provide a new alternative means of personal identity proofing service. By applying the proposed method to the PIPA designation examination, various alternative means of RRN can be utilized in the online commerce service market.

Currently, online means of replacing resident registration numbers(RRN) include I-Pin, mobile phone, credit card, MyPin, and general-purpose certificate. In order to issue alternative means based on the RRN, it must be designated through the designation review by the Korea Communications Commission(KCC) through a designation review by personal proofing agency and be subject to annual management. However, the criteria for designation and follow-up of the designation of the personal proofing agency carried out by KCC have been used in 2010 without revision, and there are problems that do not conform to the evaluation standards of various alternative means. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method for improving the designation criteria and management system of the personal proofing service agency. The proposed method analyzes the characteristics of the alternative identification-based personal proofing service and proposes a follow-up management standard that can appropriately evaluate the analyzed characteristics and improves the designation criteria according to the emergence of new alternatives. Through the proposed method, it can be seen that it is possible to strengthen the safety of the personal proofing service based on the alternative means of RRN provided online and face-to-face and to protect the user's personal information.

Due to development of IT, various Internet services via the non-face-to-face are increasing rapidly. In the past, the resident registration numbers (RRN) was used a mean of personal identification, but the use of RRN is prohibited by the relevant laws, and the personal identification services using alternative means are activated. According to the prohibition policy of RRN, i-PIN service appeared as an alternative means to identify a person. However, the user's knowledge-based i-PIN service continues to cause fraudulent issuance, account hijacking, and fraud attempts due to hacking accidents. Due to these problems, the usage rate of i-PIN service which performs a nationwide free personal identification service, is rapidly decreasing. Therefore, this paper proposes a technical safety enhancement method for security enhancement in the i-PIN-based personal identification service. In order to strengthen the security of i-PIN, this paper analyzes the encryption key exposure, key exchange and i-PIN authentication model problems of i-PIN and suggests countermeasures. Through the proposed paper, the i-PIN can be expected to be used more effectively as a substitution of RRN by suggesting measures to enhance the safety of personal identification information. Secured personal identification services will enable safer online non-face-to-face transactions. By securing the technical, institutional, and administrative safety of the i-PIN service, the usage rate will gradually increase.

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.

Resident Registration Number(RRN) has been used broadly by public institutions or civilian departments as a means of personal identification due to its effectiveness and convenience in managing the information. Recently, because of personal information leakage including resident registration number, the potential damage is increasing public anxiety. In this situation, there have been demands requiring systems that can end the link between the resident registration number and personal information. In order to solve the problem, multiple alternatives are under consideration. In this research, we will discuss limits, needs for change of the system, and the basic concepts or traits that new registration number require. Also, by comparing the alternatives being discussed, we will analyze personal information security level and the cost required for reorganizing the system to present alternative that has high effectiveness.
