As COVID-19 became a pandemic worldwide, contact tracing technologies and information systems were developed for quick control of infectious diseases in both the private and public sectors. This study aims to strengthen the data subject’s security, privacy, and rights in a centralized contact tracing system adopted for a quick response to the spread of infectious diseases due to climate change, increasing cross-border movement, etc. There are several types of contact tracing systems: centralized, decentralized, and hybrid models. This study demonstrates the privacy model for a centralized contact tracing system, focusing on the case in Korea. Hence, we define security and privacy threats to the centralized contact tracing system. The threat analysis involved mapping the threats in ITU-T X.1121; in order to validate the defined threats, we used LIDDUN and STRIDE to map the threats. In addition, this study provides security requirements for each threat defined for more secure utilization of the centralized contact tracing system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
