Recently, the US and EU have been institutionally introducing and promoting Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure(CVD) to strengthen the response to security vulnerabilities in ICT products and services, based on collaboration with white-hat hackers. In response to these changes in cybersecurity, we propose a three-step approach to introduce CVD through the Information and Communications Network Act(ICNA). In the first step, to comprehend the necessity and requirements for legislating CVD, we survey the current situation in Korea and the trends of CVD in the US, EU, and OECD. In the second step, we analyze the necessity for legislating CVD and derive the requirements for its legislation. In this paper, we analyze the necessity for legislating CVD from three perspectives: the need for introducing CVD, the need for institutionalization based on law, and the suitability of the ICNA as the legislation. The derived requirements for CVD legislation include the establishment and publication of Vulnerability Disclosure Policy(VDP), legal protection for white-hat hackers, and designation and role assignments of coordinator. In the third step, we introduce approaches to apply the requirements for CVD legislation to the ICNA, which is the law governing prevention and response to cybersecurity incidents in private sector.

In a wireless LAN environment, security is the most important. Security of 802.11 standard has many vulnerabilities of the network attack. IEEE has created mechanisms to security for this vulnerability. But the vulnerabilities is characteristic of broadcast in the air in wireless LAN, it is more disclosure then other network environments. In a wireless LAN environment, it can be accessed to the wireless LAN after authentication. Authentication process is one of most important because of the first security step. However, in the authentication process is not mentioned in the method of reducing the disclosure maximum fundamental. Therefore, in this research, the vulnerability of 802.11 are presented and how to do de-authentication in 802.11.
