ABSTRACT

Smartphones are now an essential tool in all sections of European society, from top government officials to businesses and consumers. In EU5 countries (the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy) alone, the number of smartphone users has increased to 61 million. Smartphone have a rich cocktail of feature: an array of sensors, multiple radio and network interface, as well as gigabytes of storage and powerful processors. They are often within a meter of their owner 24 hours a day. In fact, smartphones have already realized many aspects of the vision of ambient intelligence which includes, for example, providing augmented reality applications, applications that adapt to and anticipate the user’s physical environment using smart sensors- even providing smart health applications using biometric monitoring. Overall, smartphone has led to ‘Smart age’ with other digital devices. However, many of the security and privacy issues raised in the context of ambient intelligence apply to smartphones as well. The objective of this study is to allow an informed assessment of the information security and privacy risks of using digital devices in smart age. Most importantly, we make practical recommendation on how to address these risks. In this study we give an overview of the key information security risks and smart age in chapter two. We also categorize the information security risk and provide practical advice to address the risk in chapter three and four. Finally, we conclude with some recommendations for the solution of information security risks in South Korea.
