A digital certificate mandated by the Electronic Signature Act has become familiar in our daily lives as 95% of the economically active population hold certificates. Due to upgrades to 256 bit level security that have become effective recently, the security and reliability of digital certificates are expected to increase. Digital certificates based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) have been known as "no big problem," but the possibility of password exposure in cases of leaked digital certificates still exists. To minimize this vulnerability, various existing studies have introduced alternative password methods, expansion of certificate storage media, and multiple certification methods. These methods perform enhanced functions but also have limitations including the fact that the secureness of passwords is not guaranteed. This study suggests an alternative method for enhancing the level of password secureness as a way to improve password security. This new method improves security management and enhances the convenience of using 1)
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of social anonymity on community quality and find out mediating factors that affect the relationship between social anonymity and community quality in online community sites. This study focuses on the factors such as self expression, self control, and community ties to investigate their mediating roles on the relationship between social anonymity and community quality. Also, discussion quality and information quality are used to measure online community quality. The results of this study show that social anonymity is directly related to discussion quality but not related to information quality. As for the mediating effects, self expression, self control and community ties are all shown to have strong mediating effects on the social anonymity and community quality relationship.
