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.

Infrastructure procurement has been a major engagement route between China and Africa. This contributes immensely to the gradual infrastructure development seen on the continent. However, maturing discourse purports that these infrastructure collaborations lack intentionality in the continuous development of strategic guidelines and policies for effective implementation despite their uniqueness and criticality. This study proposes that an efficient approach to policy recommendations is through the political and economic analysis (PEA) of these partnerships using public-private partnership (PPP) optics. Unquestionably, these partnerships are representative of the concept of diplomatic transnational public-private partnership (DT-PPP) where infrastructure is procured through the collaboration of public (African governments) and private sector (Chinese state-owned corporations) who provide the managerial, financial, and technical resources for the project implementation. Given the quest for sustainable win-win, this study identifies strategies towards the realization of win-win in the implementation (i.e enablers of win-win) such that fairness and co-benefit, as well as interests, will be achieved. Thus, based on the PEA framework, case scenarios from Ghana and Nigeria using expert interviews identify the criticalities and best practices for the realization of these enablers at the development phase. Findings indicate more effort is required of the public sector (African host countries) in terms of people, structure/institutions, and the implementation processes. Recommendations include improvement of environmental management structures, contract administration procedures, external stakeholders/local community engagement mechanisms, knowledge and technology transfer procedures, and sector-based project operation and maintenance culture and systems. Additionally, actors must have emotional intelligence, good problem-solving abilities, and overall ensure cordial relationships for continued bilateral cooperation.

As the smartphone market becomes saturated, an innovative device equipped with new features is expected to appear soon in mobile communications. In particular, various possibilities were raised regarding the alternative technologies that can develop post-smartphones, which are differentiated from the current smartphones, as Korea commercialized the 5G infrastructure for the first time in the world. Under these circumstances, the Korean government announced the "5G+ Strategy for Realizing Innovative Growth" in April 2019, vowing to build an innovative industrial ecosystem quickly while creating various convergence services based on the 5G infrastructure. As described above, the policy importance of the alternative technologies that will develop post-smartphones is increasing, but the theoretical study on the technology evolution of post-smartphones has not been systematically conducted until now. This study reviewed the alternative technologies that can develop post-smartphones through documentary research, and data mining analysis was performed on the research result using actual data. The policy priority was also set quantitatively for the alternative technologies of post-smartphones in order to determine the alternative post-smartphone technology that the government should focus on given the constraint of limited resources. As a results, autonomous vehicle(43.68%) was found to be most important, followed by artificial intelligence(17.4%) and Internet of Things(13.1%), among alternative technologies that could develop into the post-smartphone.

The purposes of the study was to investigate BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy since it would be limited to distribute all of the digital devices required for the schools within the budget of the government. First, the concept and characteristics of BYOD were introduced. Then, the pros and cons of BYOD were analyzed according to the case studies of BYOD policies of the U.S. Based on the previous experiences, guidelines of domestic BYOD policies were established. Regarding the institutional aspect, technical issues, usage, damages, digital divide, information security, and resources were discussed. Additionally, conditions of technology, networks, filtering, software were also considered as essential infrastructure. In sum, as an alternative of distributing digital devices in schools, the importance of BYOD should be regarded as top priorities with systematic preparations in launching digital education. It would be expected that this study play a fundamental role in launching domestic BYOD policy by supporting specific strategies.
