  • Smartphone security threat has become an important issue in Information Science field following the wide distribution of smartphones. However, there are few studies related to such. Therefore, this study examined the factors affecting the intention of smartphone users to use the mobile vaccine against malware with the Protection Motivation Theory. To secure the reliability of the study, a surveying agency was commissioned. A total of 263 respondents, excluding 37 respondents who are users of iOS, which does not have mobile vaccine in the smart phone, or who gave invalid responses, were surveyed. The results showed that perception of the installed mobile vaccine significantly affected the Response Efficacy and Self-efficacy, and that the Perceived Severity, Perceived Vulnerability, Response Efficacy, and Self-efficacy significantly influenced the intention to use the mobile vaccine. On the other hand, Installation Perception of mobile vaccine itself did not affect the Perceived Severity and Perceived Vulnerability. This study is significant since it presented the new evaluation model of threat evaluation and response evaluation in the Protection Motivation Theory in accepting the security technology and raised the need for the promotion and exposure of mobile vaccine, since perception of mobile vaccine installation affects the response evaluation. It also found that the promotion must consider the seriousness of smartphone security, outstanding attribute of mobile vaccine, and user-friendliness of mobile vaccine above all.

  • Scan techniques are almost mandatorily adopted in designing current System-on-a-Chip (SoC) to enhance testability, but inadvertently secret keys can be stolen through the scan test channels of crypto SoCs. An efficient scan design technique is proposed in this paper to protect the secret key of an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) core embedded in an SoC. A new instruction is added to IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan to use a fake key instead of user key, in which the fake key is chosen with meticulous care to improve the testability as well. Our approach can be implemented as user defined logic with conventional boundary scan design, hence no modification is necessary to any crypto IP core. Conformance to the IEEE 1149.1 standards is completely preserved while yielding better performance of area, power, and fault coverage with highly robust protection of the secret user key.

  • The automatic payment process of mobile phone micropayment system has not checked user's authentication. That is the structural vulnerability of mobile phone micropayment system. The malicious contents provider can cheat users and payment gateway through abusing the structural vulnerability. The payment gateway applies standard payment module after August, 2012 in order to solve the problem. But the standard payment module also has the vulnerability that makes damage of users. So the purpose of this paper is to suggest efficient improvement of standard payment module for user protection.

  • Today, in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the cloud computing sector has advantages for cost reduction and efficiency of work, but problems related to privacy may arise. Therefore, the law on the development of cloud computing and user protection should be improved to enable providers of cloud computing services to proactively identify whether or not they contain their personal information, or to take steps to protect their privacy. And this same law is desirable to improve the implementation of a national mandatory certification system for privacy protection systems for cloud computing businesses. This same law is also desirable that cloud computing service providers create direct accountability for privacy breaches and appropriate scope for those responsibilities.

  • Cloud services are readily available through a variety of media, attracting a lot of attention from users. However, there are various security damages that abuse the privacy of users who use cloud services, so there is not enough technology to prevent them. In this paper, we propose a protection model to safeguard user's privacy in a cloud environment so as not to illegally exploit user's privacy. The proposed model randomly manages the user's signature to strengthen the role of the middle manager and the cloud server. In the proposed model, the user's privacy information is provided illegally by the cloud server to the user through the security function and the user signature. Also, the signature of the user can be safely used by bundling the random number of the multiplication group and the one-way hash function into the hash chain to protect the user's privacy. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed model achieved an average improvement of data processing time of 24.5% compared to the existing model and the efficiency of the proposed model was improved by 13.7% than the existing model because the user's privacy information was group managed.

  • With the increase of number of internet services due to development of internet, it becomes a critical issue to appropriately manage the personal information about user's identity, that is ID information that service providers collect in terms of user's convenience improvement and privacy protection. But the existing ID information management models are service provider-centric or they insufficiently provide ID information management functions, so that they have not been satisfying user's requirement. In this paper, by establishing user-centric concept in we information management, we propose the new user-centric ID information management model in which user can make use of the internet service more conveniently and eventually enhance user's privacy.
