Governments around the world place great hopes in innovation in their search for new sources of growth and for responses to grand challenges, such as climate change, new or re-emerging infectious diseases, accelerating urbanisation, ageing, food security, and availability of clean water. However they must devise their relevant support policies -- including through sponsored research within public research institutes -- taking into account that innovation processes are currently undergoing a major transformation. New innovation patterns include a broadening scope of relevant activities, a growing importance but changing nature of scientific roots of technological development, a stronger demand-pull, the emergence of new local and national STI powerhouses, and the rise of more open and globalised innovation networks. They translate into new opportunities but also constraints for policies to enhance the contribution of public research institutes to national innovation performance. The article derives the main policy implications regarding the desirable evolution of the mission, research focus, as well as the funding and steering of public research institutes, with a special reference to Korea.

As society becomes more digital, the need for digital forensics experts are gradually increasing. It is necessary to establish a training policy that reflects the special characteristics of digital forensics personnel. Although there are fragmented policies for digital forensics-related systems and human resources training in academia, it is an urgently necessary to establish a systematic and long-term policy to foster digital forensics experts. This study suggests curriculum of digital forensic based on the importance ranking among forensic subjects. The importance ranking can be decided by forensic experts. This study can be used as policy data to foster diverse talent that can effectively meet the increasing demand for digital forensics talent. The systematic curriculum proposed in this study is a practical curriculum at the undergraduate level and can be suitable for university level

Recently, the critical infrastructure is changing from the existing closed environment to an open environment, and it is becoming a new target of cyber-threats by expanding into cyberspace. In addition, due to the development of information and communications technology(ICT), the interdependence among critical infrastructure is increasing. Previous studies ranged from trend investigation and policy discussions to protection, but separate studies on the diagnosis of the current status and appropriateness judgment for efficient policy implementation were not performed. Therefore, this study compares and analyzes three international indicators that measure the level of cyber security in each country in order to build a new index to measure the level of cyber security of critical infrastructure in the USA, Japan, UK, Germany, Norway, and Korea. It is hoped that this study will serve as a basis for expanding Korean influence and building trust among countries in future cyberspace.

In October 2016, the NFSA (National Financial Supervisory Authorities) revised the network separation clause of the Regulation on Supervision of Electronic Financial Activities in order to promote the Cloud Computing implementation in the financial sectors. The new regulation, however, limits the Cloud Computing usage to non-critical information and its processing system. Financial institutions that provide customer data analysis and personalized services based on personal data regard current revision as unchanged as before. The implementation of Cloud Computing has greatly contributed to cost reduction, business innovation and is an essential requirement in ever-changing information communication technology environment. To guarantee both security and reliability of the implementation of the Cloud Computing in financial sectors, a considerable amount of research and debate needs to be done. This paper examines current Cloud Computing policies in the Korean financial sector and the challenges associated with it. Finally, the paper identifies policy suggestions based on both European Union and United States' approach as they have successfully introduced Cloud Computing Services for their financial sectors.

Recently, important information related with smart work such as office and video conference are handled in smart device quite a lot compare with before. Also, execution environment of smart devices is getting developed as open software environment. It brought convenience to download and use any kind of application software. By that, security side of smart devices became vulnerable. This paper will discuss characteristics of smart device security technology based on virtualization that is a mobile device platform with isolated secure execution area based on TEE (Trusted Execution Environment). Also, this paper will suggest an implementation method about safe smart device security platform based on domain separation for application software which can be executed in smart devices. The domain separation based smart device security platform technology in this paper blocks unauthorized access and leakage of sensitive information in device. Also it will be the solution can block transmission and execution of malicious code in various area including variety of IoT devices in internet rather than just smart devices.

Standard makers in both private and public sectors have been increasingly mandating security standards upon organizations to protect organizational digital assets. A major issue in security standardization is that standards often cannot regulate all possible security efforts by the standard maker because some efforts are unverifiable by nature. This paper studies from an analytical perspective how a standard maker should design the standard using a verifiable security control in the presence of another related unverifiable one. We compare it with two benchmark standards; $na{\ddot{i}}ve$-standard which refers to the standard maker who ignores the existence of the unverifiable control, and complete-information standard which refers to the maker sets standards on both controls. Optimal standard and benchmark standard depend critically on how the two controls are configured. Under parallel configuration, the existence of the unverifiable control induces the policy maker to set a higher standard (the complete-information standard is optimal); under serial configuration, a lower standard is applied (neither benchmark works). Under best-shot configuration and if the verifiable control is more cost-efficient, the existence of the unverifiable control has no impact on the optimal standard (the $na{\ddot{i}}ve$ standard is optimal).

The emergence of a hyper-connected-super-intelligence society, called the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, brought about a new change in the security environment. With ICT (Information Communication Technology) convergence and high-tech technologies introduced across the board, the person-centered driving force that moved the real space is replaced by the code-oriented cyberspace, and its dependency is constantly increasing. Paradoxically, however, these technological changes serve as another security vulnerability that threatens our society, and have brought about the justification for building a cyber defense system while simultaneously facing the opportunities and challenges brought by technology. In this study, the theory of self-defense was put forward on the basis of the theoretical basis for actively responding to the increasingly intelligent and mass-evolving cyberattacks, and firstly, the need to enact a cybersecurity law, secondly, and thirdly, the need to develop a response cooperation system with the U.S. and other cyber powers.

The use of open source has the advantage that the development environment is convenient and maintenance is easier, but there is a limitation in that it is easy to be exposed to vulnerabilities from a security point of view. In this regard, the LOG4J vulnerability, which is an open source logging library widely used in Apache, was recently discovered. Currently, the risk of this vulnerability is at the 'highest' level, and developers are using it in many systems without being aware of such a problem, so there is a risk that hacking accidents due to the LOG4J vulnerability will continue to occur in the future. In this paper, we analyze the LOG4J vulnerability in detail and propose a SNORT detection policy technology that can detect vulnerabilities more quickly and accurately in the security control system. Through this, it is expected that in the future, security-related beginners, security officers, and companies will be able to efficiently monitor and respond quickly and proactively in preparation for the LOG4J vulnerability.
