광대역 무선 접속 표준을 관장하는 IEEE 802.16 워킹 그룹은 IEEE 802.16 표준을 2004년에 발표하였으며 이 IEEE 802.16 표준안에는 현재 WiMAX(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)라 불리는 고정 및 저속 이동 접속에 대한 광대역 무선 통신 지원 기술이 포함되어 있다. 특히 여러 기술 중 보안 관점에서 IEEE 802.16 표준은 MAC 계층 안에 PKM(Privacy Key Management)라고 불리는 Security Sub-layer를 가지고 있다. PKM은 PKMv1과 PKMv2로 구분되며, 먼저 PKMv1은 기본적인 인증 및 기밀성 기능을 제공하고 IEEE 802.16 표준에 기본적으로 적용되어있다. 하지만, IEEE 802.16 표준 이후 많은 연구들이 PKMv1의 보안성에 대하여 의문을 제기하였고 이에 따라 IEEE 802.16 표준안의 확장 개선안으로서 완전한 이동성을 바탕으로 하는 2005년 발표된 IEEE 802.16e 표준안에서는 향상된 보안 기능을 제공하는 PKMv2를 제공하며 기존 표준안의 부족한 점을 보완하기 위하여 시도하였다. 이러한 PKMv2는 EAP(Extensible Authentication Protocol) 인증, AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) 기반 기밀성 제공 알고리즘, CMAC/HMAC(Cipher/Hashed Message Authentication Code)을 사용한 메시지 인증 기능 제공 등 보다 다양한 보안 기능을 제공하였다. 그러나 IEEE 802.16e 표준안의 보안 기능은 SS(Subscriber Station)과 BS(Base Station)간의 통신구간 보안에 초점을 맞추어서 네트워크 도메인간의 보안 문제나 핸드오버시 보안과 같은 네트워크 구조적 보안 취약성을 여전히 가지고 있다. 하지만 표준안에서 정의하고 있는 SS와 BS 구간 보안 역시 완전한 솔루션을 제시하고 있지는 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 취약성을 고찰하고 그에 따른 대응방안을 제시하였다.

VANET(Vehicle Ad-hoc Network)은 통신 기능을 지원하는 지능형 차량들로 이루어진 애드혹 네트워크 환경으로써 최근 들어서 그 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행되고 있는 분야이다. VANET은 원활한 교통 소통, 사고 방지 등 여러 가지 편리한 기능들을 제공하지만, 그 기반을 애드혹 네트워크에 두고 있기 때문에 애드혹 네트워크에서 발생할 수 있는 보안 문제가 그대로 발생하며, 또한 그 환경적 특성에 따라 추가적인 보안 요구사항 역시 존재한다. VANET 환경에서 가장 중요하게 요구되는 보안요소는 협력 운전(cooperative driving) 시 메시지 인증, 무결성, 부인방지 등과 특정 차량에 대한 추적을 할 수 없도록 하는 위치 프라이버시 보호이다. 그러나 이 가운데 사용자의 위치 프라이버시는 조건적으로 신뢰기관에 의한 추적 역시 가능해야 한다는 조건을 포함한다. 본 논문에서는 L. Martucci 등이 제안한 자체적으로 생성하고 인증하는 pseudonym 기법[1]을 이용하여 이러한 보안 요구사항들을 만족시키는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 기법은 최초 차량 등록 시 받은 비밀 인자를 이용하여 보안 통신을 하며 추가적으로 신뢰 기관으로의 통신이 필요하지 않는 효율적인 보안 기법이다. 또한 기존 연구에서 발생했던 저장 공간의 문제, RSU(Road Side Unit) 접근 문제 등을 해결한다.

The data wiping is a technique which perfectly deletes data in a storage to prevent data recovery. Currently, management of stored data is important because of increasing an accident of personal information leakage. Especially, if you need to discard data contained personal information, using a wiping tool which permanently deletes data to prevent unnecessary personal information leakage. The data wiping is also used for data security and privacy protection. However the data wiping can be used intentionally destruction of evidence. This intentionally destruction of evidence is important clues of forensic investigation. This paper demonstrates the methods for detecting the usage of wiping tools in digital forensic investigation.

Within the traditional medical delivery system, patients residing in medically vulnerable areas, those with body movement difficulties, and nursing facility residents have had limited access to good healthcare services. However, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides us with a convenient and useful means of overcoming distance and time constraints. ICT is integrated with biomedical science and technology in a way that offers a new high-quality medical service. As a result, rapid technological advancement is expected to play a pivotal role bringing about innovation in a wide range of medical service areas, such as medical management, testing, diagnosis, and treatment; offering new and improved healthcare services; and effecting dramatic changes in current medical services. The increase in aging population and chronic diseases has caused an increase in medical expenses. In response to the increasing demand for efficient healthcare services, a telehealth service based on ICT is being emphasized on a global level. Telehealth services have been implemented especially in pilot projects and system development and technological research. With the service about to be implemented in earnest, it is necessary to study its overall acceptance by consumers, which is expected to contribute to the development and activation of a variety of services. In this sense, the study aims at positively examining the structural relationship among the acceptance factors for telehealth services based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected by showing audiovisual material on telehealth services to online panels and requesting them to respond to a structured questionnaire sheet, which is known as the information acceleration method. Among the 1,165 adult respondents, 608 valid samples were finally chosen, while the remaining were excluded because of incomplete answers or allotted time overrun. In order to test the reliability and validity of the assessment scale items, we carried out reliability and factor analyses, and in order to explore the causal relation among potential variables, we conducted a structural equation modeling analysis using AMOS 7.0 and SPSS 17.0. The research outcomes are as follows. First, service quality, innovativeness of medical technology, and social influence were shown to affect perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the telehealth service, which was statistically significant, and the two factors had a positive impact on willingness to accept the telehealth service. In addition, social influence had a direct, significant effect on intention to use, which is paralleled by the TAM used in previous research on technology acceptance. This shows that the research model proposed in the study effectively explains the acceptance of the telehealth service. Second, the research model reveals that information privacy concerns had a insignificant impact on perceived ease of use of the telehealth service. From this, it can be gathered that the concerns over information protection and security are reduced further due to advancements in information technology compared to the initial period in the information technology industry, and thus the improvement in quality of medical services appeared to ensure that information privacy concerns did not act as a prohibiting factor in the acceptance of the telehealth service. Thus, if other factors have an enormous impact on ease of use and usefulness, concerns over these results in the initial period of technology acceptance may become irrelevant. However, it is clear that users' information privacy concerns, as other studies have revealed, is a major factor affecting technology acceptance. Thus, caution must be exercised while interpreting the result, and further study is required on the issue. Numerous information technologies with outstanding performance and innovativeness often attract few consumers. A revised bill for those urgently in need of telehealth services is about to be approved in the national assembly. As telemedicine is implemented between doctors and patients, a wide range of systems that will improve the quality of healthcare services will be designed. In this sense, the study on the consumer acceptance of telehealth services is meaningful and offers strong academic evidence. Based on the implications, it can be expected to contribute to the activation of telehealth services. Further study is needed to assess the acceptance factors for telehealth services, such as motivation to remain healthy, health care involvement, knowledge on health, and control of health-related behavior, in order to develop unique services according to the categorization of customers based on health factors. In addition, further study may focus on various theoretical cognitive behavior models other than the TAM, such as the health belief model.

The Instant Messenger(IM) is the most popular personal communication tool today. IM is a tool that can substitute E-mail for a person, and can secure the user for a company. Further, it is claimed as it has a limitless potential. However, there has been several reports on security issues. It has known that the transmitting message is not secured for the attacks, and hacking tools has been developed. In addition, several reports has been made regards to the vulnerability. In other words, anyone can been through and manipulate the messages that are sent or received via IM. This is a barrier for the IM to be developed as a corporate's strategic tool, and furthermore, it will create serious personal privacy issue. IETF IMPP Working Group is preparing a standard mutual relationship between IM. However, it is complicated due to the American On-Lines's absence, whom has ensured the most number of IM users. There was a discussion only about the form of the transmitting data, but it is insufficient state to discuss the security service for general. In this paper, I design and implement the Secure Instant Messaging System, to solve the IM's vulnerability and the security issue presented above.

Recently, as cloud services become popular with general users, users' information is freely transmitted and received among the information used in the cloud environment, so security problems related to user information disclosure are occurring. we propose a method to secure personal information of multiple users by making personal information stored in the cloud server and a key for accessing the shared information so that the privacy information of the multi users using the cloud service can be prevented in advance do. The first key used in the proposed scheme is a key for accessing the user 's personal information, and is used to operate the information related to the personal information in the form of a multi - layer. The second key is the key to accessing information that is open to other users than to personal information, and is necessary to associate with other users of the cloud. The proposed scheme is constructed to anonymize personal information with multiple hash chains to process multiple kinds of information used in the cloud environment. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed method works by allowing third parties to safely access and process the personal information of multiple users processed by the multi - type structure, resulting in a reduction of the personal information management cost by 13.4%. The efficiency of the proposed method is 19.5% higher than that of the existing method.

It is actively opening the market to fintech companies through open platforms, such as financial institutions and public institutions. In this thesis, we will look at the conceptual differences between the "provision of third-party information" and "entrustment" of information protection related laws, such as the Personal Information Protection Act, the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Data Protection Etc (Network Utilization Protection Act). In addition, the legal obligation to provide information regarding the legal rights of information is considered to be relevant, whereas the legal obligation of the private information provided by the company is excessively mitigated, whereas the legal obligation of the company to provide information is excessively mitigated. In addition, I suggest self-diagnosis checklist to help fintech companies improve their privacy levels. It was found that the level of information protection was relatively insufficient compared to the consignees based on the results of a survey conducted for 31 fintech companies. Aggressive use of the checklist is suggested to raise the level of information protection for those companies.

Mobile network environments are the environments where mobile devices are distributed invisible in our daily lives so that we can conventionally use mobile services at my time and place. The fact that we can work with mobile devices regardless of time and place, however, means that we are also in security threat of leaking or forging the information. In particular, without solving privacy concern, the mobile network environments which serve convenience to use, harmonized without daily lives, on the contrary, will cause a serious malfunction of establishing mobile network surveillance infrastructure. On the other hand, as the mobile devices with various sizes and figures, public key cryptography techniques requiring heavy computation are difficult to be applied to the computational constrained mobile devices. In this paper, we propose efficient PKI-based user authentication and java-based cryptography module for the privacy-preserving in mobile network environments. Proposed system is support a authentication and digital signature to minimize encrypting and decrypting operation by compounding session key and public key based on Korean standard cryptography algorithm(SEED, KCDSA, HAS160) and certificate in mobile network environment. Also, it has been found that session key distribution and user authentication is safety done on PDA.
