  • Ethical considerations are essential in planning for and responding to outbreaks of infectious diseases. During the outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in the Republic of Korea in 2015, serious challenges emerged regarding important ethical issues, such as transparency and the protection of privacy. The development of bioethics in Korea has been influenced by individualistic perspectives applied in clinical contexts, leading to a paucity of ethical perspectives relevant to population-level phenomena such as outbreaks. Alternative theories of public health ethics include the perspectives of relational autonomy and the patient as victim and vector. Public health actions need to incorporate clear and systematic procedures founded upon ethical principles. The MERS-CoV epidemic in Korea created significant public support for more aggressive early interventions in future outbreaks. This trend makes it all the more imperative for ethical principles and procedures to be implemented in future planning and responses to outbreaks in order to promote perceptions of legitimacy and civic participation.

  • 원개인의료정보(Personal Healthcare Record:PHR)의 문제점은 병원서버에서 관리되고 있는 것이다. 서버에 저장된 PHR 정보는 환자의 질병 및 치료 등 매우 민감한 정보를 포함하고 있기 때문에 환자의 프라이버시 보호가 보장되어야하고 PHR의 접근은 특성상 많은 그룹별 접근이 허용된다. 따라서 이 논문에서 제안하는 계층적 신원기반 암호화(HIDE)를 이용한 그룹서명을 통해 PHR 데이터의 프라이버시를 보장할 수 있다. 또한 그룹서명을 통해 계층별 접근그룹에서 사용할 수 있는 세션키를 생성한다. 생성한 세션키는 PHR 데이터의 안전한 송수신이 가능하다. 제안방법은 암호화를 위한 처리 효율성 측면에서 기존 공개키 기반 암호화 방식보다는 평균 80%, 아이디기반 암호화 방식보다는 평균 50%이상 높은 효율성을 갖는다.
