In computer-mediated idea generation where contributions can be anonymous, the ability to accurately monitor performances is limited, inducing social loafing. Prior research has suggested that social loafing is likely an important factor in reducing task performance. Researchers have theorized that loafing could be minimized if clear performance feedback is provided. Our prior study evidences a substantial performance gain by the provision of real time performance information about who is contributing and who is not. However, our prior study incorporated the quantity feedback only to create a larger pool of ideas based on the long-standing assumption (i.e., quantity breeds quality), not considering the quality feedback. As a result, taking advantage of anonymity in the form of pseudonymity, individuals in almost all groups exhibited a tendency of self-presentation by capitalizing on ideas of which quality was low and even frivolous (i.e., junk comments) toward the later stages of the session. Thus, we have learned that the quantity performance feedback alone does not have enough restrictiveness to consistently control the performance behavior throughout the session. Since a process chart allows participants to monitor process variation by comparing new performance data to past performance data, we incorporated real-time visual process performance feedback to reveal performance histories by connecting the sequence of idea quality scores in a time-series format. Using this environment, a laboratory experiment was conducted with five-member groups that examined the influence of both identifiability (i.e., anonymity versus pseudonymity) and process performance feedback (i.e., yes or no) in a $2{\times}2$ factorial design. The result showed that groups in the process performance feedback treatment outperformed groups in the no feedback treatment. Additionally, process performance feedback and identifiability interacted such that groups in the process performance feedback/pseudonymity treatment had the highest performance. The implications of these findings for future research, as well as the implications for the design of group idea generation procedures are discussed.

The blockchain technology that implements electronic money uses decentralized computing and all transactions in a blockchain are open to everyone. This technique seems to guarantee anonymity by performing the transaction on the address instead of the user, but by using direction acyclic graph based on the transaction graph, the privacy problem is caused by tracking the addresses. In this paper, we analyze various techniques for centralized processing which makes it difficult to find the relevance on the graph in order to protect the privacy in the block chain technology. We also analyze the techniques of anonymizing in a distributed way to enhance privacy. Using the zero knowledge proof scheme guarantees full distributed anonymity but requires more computation and storage space, and various techniques to make this efficient are proposed. In this paper, we propose a privacy protection scheme of blockchain technology to integrate existing privacy protection techniques into a blockchain technology and perform it more efficiently with a centralized or decentralized technique.

Recently, Hao et al. proposed a privacy preservation protocol based on group signature scheme for secure vehicular communications to overcome a well-recognized problems of secure VANETs based on PKI. However, although efficient group signature schemes have been proposed in cryptographic literatures, group signature itself is still a rather much time consuming operation. In this paper, we propose a more efficient privacy preservation protocol than that of Hao et al. In order to design a more efficient anonymous authentication protocol, we consider a key-insulated signature scheme as our cryptographic building block. We demonstrate experimental results to confirm that the proposed protocol is more efficient than the previous scheme.

무선 통신 시스템에서 이동 사용자들의 안전성 문제에 대한 논쟁은 끊임없이 이루어지고 있으며 무선 네트워크 환경에서 더 안전한 통신을 위한 연구들이 계속 진행되고 있다. 무선 네트워크 환경에서는 전달하고자 하는 메시지들이 공중파를 매체로 하여 전송되기 때문에 유선 네트워크 시스템에서보다 안전성의 문제가 더욱 철저히 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 이동 네트워크 환경에서 인증서를 기반으로 한 안전한 통신 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. 특히 이동 사용자들이 각기 다른 도메인으로부터 서비스를 받고 있는 환경에서 종단간에 위치한 이동 사용자들이 다근 사용자와 외부 도메인으로부터 익명성을 보장받으며 서로를 인증하고 안전하게 통신을 위한 비밀키를 공유찬 수 있는 프로토콜을 제안한다.

소액전자지불시스템 중에서 휴대폰을 이용한 지불이 늘어나고 있는 추세인데, 이는 휴대폰의 보편성과 이동통신업체를 통한 통합적인 요금체계 즉 후불제 방식이라는 장점을 가지고 있기 때문이다. 하지만, 휴대폰을 이용한 지불은 지불 결제시 구매자의 이동통신번호와 주민등록번호를 입력하여 구매자의 신원을 확인하므로 구매자의 정보가 누출될 위험이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 휴대폰을 이용한 소액지불 결제시 판매자에게 구매자의 신분을 은닉성을 제공하는 안전한 핸드폰 지불시스템을 제안한다.

Recently because of development of remote network technology, users are able to access the network freely without constraints of time and space. As users are getting more frequent to access the remote server in a computing environment, they are increasingly being exposed to various risk factors such as forward secrecy and server impersonation attack. Therefore, researches for remote user authentication scheme have been studying actively. This paper overcomes the weaknesses of many authentication schemes proposed recently. This paper suggests an improved authentication scheme that protects user's anonymity with preserving variable more safe and also provides forward secrecy.

Group signature schemes allow a group member to sign a document on behalf of the group anonymously. In addition, in case of anonymity misuse, a group authority can recover the issuer of a signature. In this paper, we analyze the security of a group signature scheme proposed by Popescu which is a modification of the Tseng-Jan group signature scheme. We show that the scheme can't provide an important requirement of the group signature, unlikability. Thus, other members are allowed to identify whether two signatures have been issued by the same group member or not.

The instability of social norms on the Internet causes the diversity of social identification. Meanwhile, the anonymity of online social identity and the chaos of the role-playing among the interacting participants cause an ambiguity of identity recognition, which intensifies anxiety about interpersonal interaction. Methods that promote face-to-face interpersonal interaction through the reconstruction of the identification to the social system and intergroup trust is worth further research. Based on a telephone survey of urban residents in thirty-six cities in China (N=1080), the study focuses on the influence of Internet use on interpersonal interaction of urban residents and the mediation effect of social identification. The results show that Internet use has a negative effect on the interpersonal interactions of urban residents, and social identification plays a mediating effect between Internet use and interpersonal interaction. Implications of the results are discussed.
