The purpose of this study was to discuss the role of mothers in children's privacy protection on the Internet. Specifically, the study explored 1)children's privacy protection efforts on the Internet, 2)types of personal information children provided at Web sites, and 3)the effect of mothers' privacy protection efforts on their children's privacy protection levels. The Internet survey was conducted and total of 153 mothers and their children aged 12-13 were included for statistical analysis. The descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Squares were used. The results yield that children showed relatively high levels in providing personal information on the Internet, while they have no sufficient competency at privacy protection. The effect of mothers' privacy protection efforts on children's privacy protection was partially supported. The longer hours of Internet use and frequent participation in online events increased the potential consequences of children's privacy invasion. Providing privacy standards for online service providers and marketers targeting children could help protect children's privacy. Moreover, education program targeting parents and children could contribute them reduce potential consequences of children's privacy invasion.

The rise of Industry 5.0 has led to a smarter and more digital way of doing business, but with it comes the issue of user privacy and security. Only when privacy and security issues are addressed, will users be able to transact online with greater peace of mind. Thus, to address the security and privacy problems associated with industry blockchain technology, we propose a privacy protection scheme for online financial transactions based on verifiable ring signatures and blockchain by comparing and combining the unconditional anonymity provided by ring signatures with the high integrity provided by blockchain technology. Firstly, we present an algorithm for verifying ring signature based on distributed key generation, which can ensure the integrity of transaction data. Secondly, by using the block chain technique, we choose the proxy node to send the plaintext message into the block chain, and guarantee the security of the asset transaction. On this basis, the designed scheme is subjected to a security analysis to verify that it is completely anonymous, verifiable and unerasable. The protection of user privacy can be achieved while enabling online transactions. Finally, it is shown that the proposed method is more effective and practical than other similar solutions in performance assessment and simulation. It is proved that the scheme is a safe and efficient online financial transaction ring signature scheme.

최근 프라이버시 분야에서는 태도와 행동의 일관성 가정을 토대로 진행되어온 기존의 프라이버시 연구를 부정하고, 프라이버시 태도가 더 이상 행동에 영향을 미치지 않는다고 주장하는 프라이버시 역설 관점의 연구가 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 정보제공의도와 정보제공행동 간의 관계에서 프라이버시 역설 현상이 실제로 존재하는지 확인하고, 왜 이러한 현상이 나타나는지 행동경제학에서 논의되는 이중 프로세스 이론을 통해 설명하고자 하였다. 실증분석 결과, 정보제공의도와 정보제공행동 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나 프라이버시 역설의 존재가 확인되었다. 다음으로, 프라이버시 위험은 합리적 사고에 의해 지배되는 프라이버시 의사결정의 결과인 정보제공의도에, 프라이버시 신뢰는 직관적 사고에 의해 지배되는 실제 교환관계의 결과인 정보제공행동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되어 이들이 상황에 따라 차별적 역할을 한다는 것이 확인되었다.

This research aims to analyze the factors affecting the acceptance of social commerce, including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social support, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, habitability, price saving orientation, and privacy concerns using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2). UTAUT2 has been examined and modified in various contexts. The research model studies the acceptance and use of technology in the context of customers. This study adopts a quantitative method using the partial least squares regression (PLS) approach involving 244 respondents. The respondents are users of social commerce in Indonesia. The result of this research indicates that social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, habit, price value orientation, and privacy concerns have a significant effect on behavioral intention. On the other hand, performance expectancy and effort expectancy does not affect behavioral intention. Furthermore, price value has a significant effect on social commerce user behavior. Lastly, facilitating conditions and habits does not affect social commerce user behavior. This research contributes to the development of theory by examining an additional variable, which is privacy concern. This study is significant since social media and social commerce have grown exponentially nowadays. Implications of the results for the development of the theory (UTAUT2) and practice are discussed in the article.

스마트폰의 위치기반서비스가 활발히 사용됨에 따라 사용자들이 자신의 위치정보의 노출에 대한 염려가 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 프라이버시 계산 이론에 기반하여 스마트폰 사용자들이 자신의 위치정보의 제공을 어떻게 받아들이는지 확인하고자 연구모형을 개발하였다. 대학생을 대상으로 수집한 데이터를 SmartPLS를 이용하여 분석한 결과 프라이버시 계산 관점의 기존 연구와는 다른 결과를 얻었다. 프라이버시 계산이론은 인간은 합리적인 존재이며, 위험과 효과 측면을 고려하여 프라이버시 정보의 제공을 결정한다고 본다. 본 연구의 결과는 프라이버시 염려는 위험에 유의하게 영향을 미치나, 사용의도는 효과에 의해서 유의하게 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 결과는 감정적 판단과 행동적 판단이 서로 상이한 요인에 의해서 영향을 받는다는 행동경제학적 관점과 일치한다.

This study identifies the determinants of increasing privacy concerns in the mobile apps. The privacy affecting factors will be divided into the 3 categories on the basis of both users' and developers' perspective. First, this study explores whether the users' seeking value affects concern of the mobile apps privacy. Second, gender gap on the mobile privacy sensitivity will be tested. Third, this study identifies the meaning of apps developers' providing toolkit in the users' sensitivity on the privacy. The result showed that innovation among the customer's characteristics was identified the most significant factor to affect the mobile app privacy sensitivity. Ethical norm related variables (ethical identity, subjective norm and utilitarian value) were also identified as the meaningful variables in the mobile app privacy. Toolkits provided by app developers are also appeared a significant variable to affect the customer's app privacy sensitivity negatively. Finally gender also appears the meaningful factor in the mobile app privacy sensitivity.

This study redefines 'consumer privacy attitude and behavior discrepancy' that occurs in the transaction environment that exists between consumer and provider as 'consumer privacy paradox.' In this study, qualitative research was conducted based on grounded theory. This study explored how consumers react to a privacy paradox as well as looked into how to adapt to the negative and positive results that can be generated by the privacy paradox. 'Consumer privacy paradox' is the same as the existing privacy paradox in that consumers can utilize the resources of personal information to consume and benefit from the market environment. However, it differs from previous studies in that it examines the privacy paradox in terms of consumer influence and consumer experience. The results of the study are as follows. First, a paradigm model of the consumer privacy paradox was derived. Second, consumers used three types of strategies to rationalize themselves or maintain indifference or relief to cope with the consumer privacy paradox. Third, the possibility of damage and the responsibility for privacy protection were the mediators of the consumer privacy paradox. Fourth, the 'result' generated by the consumer privacy paradox showed four types of: non-response, satisfaction, commitment to change, and negative emotional experience. Fifth, there is a difference in strategies to respond to the consumer privacy paradox according to consumer types.
