Matters related to the right to be forgotten started the dispute Europe to introduce it first when Data Protection Directive established in 1995 proceeded revision. Relating to this, diverse disputes proceed on responding to personal information protection and internet laws in our nation. Especially as our National Assembly submitted the law regarding the promotion of information and communication network use and protection of information and amendment of copyright, it is necessary to look into the movement on introduction of law of right to be forgotten closely in detail. EU which attempted the institutionalization for the first time, relating to review of General Data Protection Regulation, proposed opinions such as the necessity to define subjects of personal information concretely and specifically and or protection target and balanced consideration on freedom of expression which is constitutional value. In the case of our nation, there was legislation attempt to introduce the regulation but it was limited in the form of fallen effectiveness without concrete and detailed review on internet law.

주민등록번호는 주민생활의 편익 증진과 행정사무의 적정한 처리를 목적으로 도입되었으나 인터넷의 발달과 함께 관행적이고 무분별하게 사용되어 왔다. 수집된 주민등록번호가 해킹 등의 유출사고로 명의도용 등 범죄에 악용될 우려가 커지자 이를 근본적으로 해결하기 위하여 2011년 방송통신위원회는 인터넷상 주민등록번호 수집 이용을 제한하는 법 제도적 정책을 추진하였다. 정보통신망법이 개정되어 주민등록번호의 사용이 제한되면서 사업자에게 본인확인, 연령확인 등 법률의무의 이행이나 고객의 분쟁조정 등 목적을 위해 주민등록번호를 대체할 본인확인수단이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 주민등록번호를 이용자가 입력하지 않으며 보편적으로 사용하고 있는 인프라를 이용하고 단순한 입력정보의 변경을 통해 본인확인을 할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

In an information society, privacy protection is one of the most important ethical issues. In medical institutes in which personal medical information is collected and stored, in addition, a privacy breach can cause a serious damage on personal lives. This study attempted to develop privacy concern measurement tool in personal medical information to measure patients' concern on their medical information from medical service consumers' perspective and verify its validity. For this, privacy concern measurement tool in personal medical information was developed based on the results of previous studies. After performing Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) on the measurement tool, its reliability and validity were verified. It appears that the measurement tool would be useful in developing decent privacy protection policy after investigating citizens' concern on the protection of personal medical information and domains they are interested in. For medical institutes as well, they would be helpful in coming up with a reasonable plan after figuring out problems in the protection of personal medical information and current status.

This study compares and analyzes the legal systems of Korea, the European Union, China, and the United States based on the disclosure principles and processing policies for personal data processing and provides references for seeking improvements in our legal system. Furthermore, this research aims to suggest institutional implications to overcome data transfer limitations in the upcoming digital economy. Findings on a comparative analysis of the relevant legal systems for disclosing privacy policies in four countries showed that Korea's privacy policy is under the eight principles of privacy proposed by the OECD. However, there are limitations in the current situation where personal information is increasingly transferred overseas due to direct international trade e-commerce. On the other hand, the European Union enacted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2016 and emphasized the transfer of personal information under the Privacy Policy. China also showed differences in the inclusion of required items in its privacy policy based on its values and principles regarding transferring personal information and handling sensitive information. The U.S. CPRA amended §1798.135 of the CCPA to add a section on the processing of sensitive information, requiring companies to disclose how they limit the use of sensitive information and limit the use of such data, thereby strengthening the protection of data providers' rights to sensitive information. Thus, we should review our privacy policies to specify detailed standards for the privacy policy items required by data providers in the era of digital economy and digital commerce. In addition, privacy-related organizations and stakeholders should analyze the legal systems and items related to the principles of personal data disclosure and privacy policies in major countries so that personal data providers can be more conveniently and accurately informed about processing their personal information.

The age of big data has not only opened new opportunities for economic growth in various industries, but it has also created new problems related to personal information protection and privacy invasion. Given this situation, Korea's communications commission has proposed a big data guideline that specifies how companies should collect and utilize personal information in the big data environment. However, this guideline is more focused on industrial development than personal information protection, and it contains many features that conflict with personal information protection law as it currently exists. As a result, civic groups strongly oppose the guideline, as it may create serious privacy issues for subjects of information gathering. Thus, this paper analyses the limitations of the guideline by comparing it with domestic and foreign laws about personal information protection and privacy. We also discuss the direction of legalization and institutionalization with respect to the secure use of big data.

Recently, the number of companies consigning their personal information management work has been increasing; they consign the work for various reasons and purposes, for example, in order to reduce costs related to personal information managers, improve efficiency through professional performance and to improve service quality. As such, since the cases where an consigning agency - not the personal information manager - handles personal information are increasing due to the increase of consigning of the personal information management work, we need to concerned with and pay attention to how much such agency makes efforts for personal information protection. In this regard, this study suggests a plan for efficient management of the agency during the course of consigning work as well as a list of requirements for personal information protection to be considered in each phase of the following; establishment of personal information protection framework for all consigning work processes, selection of consigning agency, execution of consigning contract, operation and management of consigning work, and termination of contract.

First, personal value is centered on personal values, such as self - esteem and self - esteem in 2006. In 2016, however, personal values such as self - fulfillment and personal relationship with others are important. Transactional ease and product service serve as the main value of the fun and pleasure of life, but the sense of accomplishment as the core value of information protection.

With the advancement of the internet, the use of personal information in online interactions has increased, underscoring the significance of data protection. Breaches of personal data due to unauthorized access can result in psychological and financial damage to individuals, and may even enable wide-ranging societal attacks aimed at those associated with the victims. In response to such threats, there is active research into security measures using blockchain to safeguard personal information. This study proposes a system that uses middleware and IAM (Identity and Access Management) services to protect personal information in a BaaS (Blockchain as a Service) environment where blockchain is provided via the Internet. The middleware operates on servers where IAM roles and policies are applied, authenticates users, and performs access control to allow only legitimate users to access blockchain data existing in the cloud. Additionally, to understand the impact of the proposed personal information protection method on the system, we measure the response time according to the time taken and the number of users under three assumed scenarios, and compare the proposed method and research related to personal information protection using blockchain in terms of security characteristics such as idea, type of blockchain, authentication, and confidentiality.
