Although interest in de-identification measures for the safe use of personal information is growing at home and abroad, cases where de-identified information is re-identified through insufficient de-identification measures and inferences are occurring. In order to compensate for these problems and discover new technologies for de-identification measures, competitions to compete on the safety and usefulness of de-identified information are being held in Korea and Japan. This paper analyzes the safety and usefulness indicators used in these competitions, and proposes and verifies new indicators that can measure usefulness more efficiently. Although it was not possible to verify through a large population due to a significant shortage of experts in the fields of mathematics and statistics in the field of de-identification processing, very positive results could be derived for the necessity and validity of new indicators. In order to safely utilize the vast amount of public data in Korea as de-identified information, research on these usefulness metrics should be continuously conducted, and it is expected that more active research will proceed starting with this thesis.

Recently, as digital transformation due to the COVID-19 pandemic accelerates, data to improve individual quality of life is being used in large quantities, and more reinforced non-identification processing procedures are required to utilize the most valuable personal information among data. In Korea, procedures for de-identification measures are presented through amendments to laws and guidelines, but there is no methodology to measure the level of de-identification in the field due to ambiguous processing standards and subjective risk measurement methods. This paper compares and analyzes the current status of policy and guidelines related to de-identification measures proposed at home and abroad to derive complementary points, suggests a data context-based risk measurement method centered on pseudonymized information processing, and verifies its validity. As a result of verification through Delphi survey and focus group interview (FGI), it was confirmed that the need for the proposed methodology and the validity of the indicators were high.

In this study, de-identification policies of the US, the UK, Japan, China and Korea are compared to suggest a future direction of de-identification regulations and a method for vitalizing the big data industry. Efficiently using the de-identification technology and the standard of adequacy evaluation contributes to using personal information for the industry to develop services and technology while not violating the right of private lives and avoiding the restrictions specified in the Personal Information Protection Act. As a counteraction, the re-identification issue may occur, for re-identifying each person as a de-identified data collection. From the perspective of business, it is necessary to mitigate schemes for discarding some regulations and using big data, and also necessary to strengthen security and refine regulations from the perspective of information security.

This paper proposes a new measurement scheme for estimating the processing level according to risk when performing de-identification in the use of personal information by practitioners in the organization in line with the recently revised Data 3 Act. Our proposed methods considered the surrounding circumstances surrounding the data, not just the data, for risk measurement, and divided the data situation into three categories more systematically so that it can be applied in all areas in a general-purpose environment, the data utilization environment, and the data (self) so that it can be calculated quantitatively based on each context risk according to the presented classification. The proposed method is designed to calculate the risk of existing de-identifiable information in a quantitative manner so that personal information controller in general organizations can use it in practice, not just in the qualitative judgment of experts.

This research reviewed the HIPAA/HITECH, 21st Century Cures Act, Common Law, and private Guidances from the perspectives in protecting and utilitizing the medical data, while implications were followed. First, the standards for protection and utilization are relatively clearly regulated through single law on personal medical information in the United States. The HIPAA has been introduced in 1996 as fundamental act on protection of medical data. Medical data was divided into personally identifiable information, non-identifying information, and limited dataset under HIPAA. Regulations on de-identification measures for medical information, objects for deletion of limited data sets, and agreement on prohibition of data re-identification were stipulated. Moreover, in the 21st Century Cures Act regulated mutual compatibility for data sharing, prohibition of data blocking, and strengthening of accessibility of data subjects. Common Law introduced comprehensive consent system and clearly stipulates procedures. Second, the regulatory system is relatively simplified and clearly stipulated in the United States. To be specific, the expert consensus and the safe harbor system were introduced as an anonymity measure for identifiable medical information, which clearly defines the process while increasing trust. Third, the protection of the rights of the data subject is specified, the duty of explanation is specified in detail, while the information right of the consumer (opt-out procedure) for identification information is specified. For instance, the HHS rule and FDA regulations recognize the comprehensive consent system for human research, but the consent procedure, method, and requirements are stipulated through the common rule. Fourth, in the case of the United States, a trust-based system is being used throughout the health and medical data legislation. To be specific, Limited Data Sets are allowed to use in condition to the researcher's agreement to prohibit re-identification, and de-identification or consent process is simplified under the system.

In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, the big data industry is gathering attention for new business models in the public and private sectors by utilizing various information collected through the internet and mobile. However, although the big data integration and analysis are performed with de-identification techniques, there is still a risk that personal privacy can be exposed. Recently, there are many studies to invent effective methods to maintain the value of data without disclosing personal information. In this paper, a personal information protection system is investigated to boost big data utilization in industrial sectors, such as healthcare and agriculture. The criteria for evaluating the de-identification adequacy of personal information and the protection scope of personal information should be differently applied for each industry. In the field of personal sensitive information-oriented healthcare sector, the minimum value of k-anonymity should be set to 5 or more, which is the average value of other industrial sectors. In agricultural sector, it suggests the inclusion of companion dogs or farmland information as sensitive information. Also, it is desirable to apply the demonstration steps to each region-specific industry.
