  • Recently, user-driven privacy control technology, such as distributed ID management, has been gaining attention. However, the existing blockchain-based access control studies have not provided a sufficient level of privacy control method to users. This paper proposes a method that combines permissioned blockchain technology and a recent privacy control standard. To allow users to participate in privacy control, a token-based user access control service that conforms to the UMA2 standard was applied to the blockchain dApp. By combining the blockchain and UMA2, the proposed method provides a user-centered privacy control function that the existing blockchain could not provide. In addition, we solved the problem of privacy, security, and availability of entities, which are the disadvantages of UMA2.

  • Named data networking (NDN) is a new network architecture designed for next generation Internet. Router-side content caching is one of the key features in NDN, which can reduce redundant transmission, accelerate content distribution and alleviate congestion. However, several security problems are introduced as well. One important security risk is cache privacy leakage. By measuring the content retrieve time, adversary can infer its neighbor users' hobby for privacy content. Focusing on this problem, we propose a cache privacy protection mechanism (named as CPPM-DAM) to identify legitimate user and adversary using Bloom filter. An optimization for storage cost is further provided to make this mechanism more practical. The simulation results of ndnSIM show that CPPM-DAM can effectively protect cache privacy.

  • In this study, we analyzed the privacy policies of 50 Android applications that are on the top chart in EU members to present the methods for enhancing transparency based on GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Based on the guidelines in relation to transparency stipulated in WP29, this study extracted factors of transparency in order to ensure transparency of privacy data processing and carried out the verification procedures for each factor. The results revealed that the privacy policies provided in Google Play Store and applications need to be matched, the descriptions of the privacy policies need to be written in clear and plain language for readers to understand easily. and that it is necessary to provide information quickly and improve the descriptions of information which the data controller discloses. The research findings of this study could be used as a preliminary data for proactive responses to the EU's GDPR by substantially complying with the transparency of GDPR.

  • A location information used in LBS provides convenience to the user, but service provider can be exploited depending on how much risk you have. Location information can be exploited to track the location of the personal privacy of individuals because of the misuse of location information may violate the user can import a lot of damage. In this paper, we classify the life cycle of location information as collection, use, delivery, storage and destroy and analyze the factors the privacy is violated. Furthermore, we analyze information security mechanism is classified as operation mechanism and policy/management mechanism and propose a security solutions of all phase in life cycle.

  • RFID security and privacy issues have been intensively studied in the research field, the authentication between RFID reader and tag is the fundamental them. Most of the existing authentication protocols draw assumptions on classic primitives. Since tags have small capacities, the security mechanisms which are in use in computer networks and communication are not suitable. In this paper, we compare and analyze recent technical research on the problems of privacy and security. It consists of security mechanism, threats and performance evaluation, etc.

An Empirical Study of B2C Logistics Services Users' Privacy Risk, Privacy Trust, Privacy Concern, and Willingness to Comply with Information Protection Policy: Cognitive Valence Theory Approach (B2C 물류서비스 이용자의 프라이버시 위험, 프라이버시 신뢰, 프라이버시 우려, 정보보호정책 준수의지에 대한 실증연구: 인지밸런스이론 접근)

  • This study investigates the effects of privacy psychological characteristics of B2C logistics services users on their willingness to comply with their logistics companies' information protection policy. Using cognitive valence theory as a theoretical framework, this study proposes a research model to examine the relationships between users' logistics security knowledge, privacy trust, privacy risk, privacy concern, and their willingness of information protection policy compliance. To test the proposed model, we conducted a survey from actual users of logistics services and collected valid 151 samples. We analyzed the data using a structural equation modeling software. The empirical results show that logistics security knowledge positively affects privacy trust; privacy concern positively influences privacy risk; privacy trust, privacy risk, and privacy concern positively influence behavioral willingness of compliance. However, logistics security knowledge does not affect behavioral willingness of compliance. The results of the study provide several contributions to the literature of B2C logistics services domain and managerial implications to logistics services companies.

  • Information is playing a key role in sufficing the needs of individual members of the society in today's rapidly changing environment. Especially, the cases of illegal gathering of privacy information will increase and the leakage of privacy information will grow as the individual activities in the ubiquitous computing environment. In this paper, we suggested the privacy framework in order to make design and implementation of secure and effective privacy management system. Ant we also introduced the methodology which is represent to 5 specific stages in order to suggest to the privacy system development guideline from the standpoints of the privacy system operator or developer. Especially, we tried to determine whether the suggested methodology can be effectively used in the real computing environment or not by making necessary investments in management (privacy policy) and technical (system architecture) sides. We believe that the privacy framework and methodology introduced in this research can be utilized to suggest new approach for showing direction from the privacy protection perspective, which is becoming more important in ubiquitous environments, and practical application rather than providing conceptual explanation from the views of engineer or developer.

  • Information security reports four types of basic attacks on information. One of the attacks is named as fabrication. Even though mobile devices and applications are showing its maturity in terms of performance, security and ubiquity, location-based applications still faces challenges of quality of service, privacy, integrity, authentication among mobile devices and hence mobile users associated with the devices. There is always a continued fear as how location information of users or IoT appliances is used by third party LB Service providers. Even adversary or malicious attackers get hold of location information in transit or fraudulently hold this information. In this paper, location information fabrication scenarios are presented after knowing basic model of information attacks. Peer-to-Peer broadcast model of location privacy is proposed. This document contains introduction to fabrication, solutions to such threats, management of fabrication mitigation in collaborative or peer to peer location privacy and its cost analysis. There are various infrastructure components in Location Based Services such as Governance Server, Point of interest POI repository, POI service, End users, Intruders etc. Various algorithms are presented and analyzed for fabrication management, integrity, and authentication. Moreover, anti-fabrication mechanism is devised in the presence of trust. Over cost analysis is done for anti-fabrication management due to nature of various cryptographic combinations.
