Abstract

This paper deals with the comparative analysis the two surveys called term1, term2 by collecting 4-digit password data 1313 for 2006~2011 and 2519 for 2012~ 2017. Numbers lacking prudence were significantly reduced in the term2 survey and over time, the use of four digit PWs became increasingly prudent. There was a difference in the use of digit numbers between male and female. The top five types accounted over 60%, which imply that certain types of preferences are present. It was the outcome of this paper that we can indirectly deduce these facts. Studies such as reuse of four digit PWs in user's convenience will need to be supplemented in the near future.

본 논문은 국내에서 스마트폰을 본격적으로 사용하기 시작한 2012년부터 2017년, 6년간 2519개, 이전 2006년부터 2011년, 6년간 1313개의 네 자리 숫자 비밀번호 자료들을 수집하여 전, 후 두 조사 간 사용형태 등에 대한 비교 분석 내용을 다루고 있다. 전조사에서 후조사로 갈수록 네 자리 숫자 PW들의 사용에 신중을 기하고 있다는 것, 남녀 간 숫자 사용에 있어서 다소 차이가 존재한다는 것과 네 자리 숫자 사용 패튼에 있어서 두 조사 모두 5개의 특정 패튼이 차지하는 비율이 60% 이상을 차지하는 등 선호도가 존재한다는 사실 등을 분석결과 알 수 있었다. 자료수집이 불가능한 패스워드 분야에서 간접적으로라도 사용형태를 유추해볼 수 있게 한 것이 이 논문의 성과로 볼 수 있으며, 향후 사용자 입장에서의 재사용 등과 같은 연구가 보완되어질 필요가 있을 것으로 본다.
