The European Union recently established the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for secure data use and personal information protection. Inspired by this, South Korea revised their Personal Information Protection Act, the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, and the Credit Information Use and Protection Act, collectively known as the "Three Data Bills," which prescribe safe personal information use based on pseudonymous data processing. Based on these bills, the personal data store (PDS) has received attention because it utilizes the MyData service, which actively manages and controls personal information based on the approval of individuals, and it practically ensures their rights to informational self-determination. Various types of PDS models have been developed by several countries (e.g., the US, Europe, and Japan) and global platform firms. The South Korean government has now initiated MyData service projects for personal information use in the financial field, focusing on personal credit information management. There is also a need to verify the efficacy of this service in diverse fields (e.g., medical). However, despite the increased attention, existing MyData models and frameworks do not satisfy security requirements of ensured traceability, transparency, and distributed authentication for personal information use. This study analyzes primary PDS models and compares them to an internationally standardized framework for personal information security with guidelines on MyData so that a proper PDS model can be proposed for South Korea.

This study analysed the legal concept of personal information(PI), which was not differentiated from behavioral information, and established it clearly for invigorating online targeted advertising(OTA), which draw attention in big data era; by selecting Guidelines of Assessment of Data Breach Incident Factors and Guidelines of Measures for No-Identifying Personal Information based on Personal Information Protection Act(PIPA) and Enforcement Decree of the PIPA. As a result, PI was defined as any kind of information relating to (1)a living individual(not group, corporate body or things etc.); (2)makes possibly identify the individual by his or her identifiers such as name, resident registration number, image, etc. (not included if not identify the individual); and (3)including information like attribute values which makes possibly identify any specific individual, if not by itself, but combined with other information which can be actually collected and combined). Specifically, PI includes basic, proper distinguishable, sensitive and other PI. It is suggested that PI concept should be researched continually with digital technology development; the effectiveness of the Guidelines of PI Protection in OTA, the legal principles of PI protection from not only users' but business operators' perspectives and the differentiation between PI and behavioral information in OTA should be researched.

The Personal Information Protection Act, one of the revised 3 Data Laws, established a special cases concerning pseudonymous data. As a result, a personal information controller may process pseudonymized information without the consent of data subjects for statistical purposes, scientific research purposes, and archiving purposes in the public interest, etc. In addition, as a follow-up to the revised Personal Information Protection Act, a 'Guidelines for Utilization of Healthcare Data' was prepared, which deals with the pseudonymization in the medical sector. The guidelines are meaningful in that they provide practical criteria for accomplices by defining specific interpretations and examples that take into account the characteristics of healthcare data. However, the guidelines need to clarify the purpose of using pseudonymous data and strengthen the fairness of the composition of the data deliberation committee. The guidelines also require establishing a healthcare data compensation framework and strengthening the protection of rights for vulnerable subjects. In addition, the guidelines need to be adjusted for inconsistency with the Bioethics and Safety Act and the Medical Service Act. It is expected that this study will contribute to the creation of a safe environment for the utilization of healthcare data as well as the improvement of related laws and systems.

Recent personal data breach incidences draw the public's attention to their privacy and personal rights. The new personal data protection law effective in September 2009 imposes additional legal responsibility on personal data controllers and processors. For instance, if a data breach occurs, this new law requires that the processors must notify individuals (data subjects) and data protection authorities of the nature of incidents. This research reviews the U.S. forty six state laws and related acts, and offers a framework for managing incidents. This framework includes five major components: (1) type of personal data required to be reported and notified, (2) the ultimate subject notifying data subjects, (3) event occurrence and notification time phases, (4) notification message details, and (5) direct/indirect communication media. Along with this framework, we also offer directions for effective/manageable guidelines on data breach notification act.

As the collection and use of personal information increases, the accidents that abuse and leak personal information are continuously increasing. The nation has established new laws and strengthened related laws for the prevention of the mass leakage of personal information and the secondary damage due to the leaked personal information. The nation also established the guidelines that need to be implemented by the institutions handling personal information for the safety of the personal information. For the efficient implementation of guidelines under the limited time and resources, it is necessary to establish the priorities between guidelines. This paper compares the relative importance of the guidelines by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique. We performed the analysis on two expert groups, the group of consultants working in information security consulting company and the group of information security staffs handling personal information directly in the company. We compared the differences between groups and recommended the relative importances of the guidelines.

In accordance with the revision of the Data 3 Act, such as the Personal Information Protection Act, it is possible to process pseudonym information without the consent of the information subject for statistical creation, scientific research, and preservation of public records, and unlike personal information, it is legal for personal information leakage notification and personal information destruction There are exceptions. It is necessary to revise the pseudonym information in that the standard for the pseudonym processing differs by country and the identification guidelines and anonymization are identified in the guidelines for non-identification of personal information in Korea. In this paper, we focus on the use of personal information in accordance with the 4th Industrial Revolution, examine the concept of pseudonym information for safe use of newly introduced pseudonym information, and generate / use / provide / destroy domestic and foreign non-identification measures standards and pseudonym information. At this stage, through the review of the main contents of the law or the enforcement ordinance (draft), I would like to make suggestions on future management / technical protection measures.

With the provision of the original text information disclosure service, the time spent on determining the disclosure of the original text information decreased, and the number of original text information disclosure significantly increased. In public institutions, the risk of the exposure of personal information also increased. In this study, the status of personal information protection in the original text information disclosure service was investigated. Moreover, the causes of the exposure of personal information were analyzed, and improvements were proposed. The survey presented the following results. First, 13% of the original text information collected contains personal information, which is the nondisclosure information. Second, among the original text information that includes personal information, the original text information, including the personal information of the public official, was the most important. In particular, many records about vacation and medical leaves were found. Third, there were many cases in which information about the individual of the representative was exposed in the agency that deals mainly with the contract work. Fourth, a large volume of personal information was not detected by filtering personal information. Upon analyzing the cause of the exposure of personal information, the following improvements are suggested. First, privacy guidelines should be redesigned. Second, the person in charge of the task of deciding whether or not to disclose original text information should be trained further. Third, the excessive disclosure of information based on the government's quantitative performance should be eased. Fourth, the filtering function of the personal information of the original text information disclosure system should be improved.
