ABSTRACT

With advances in today’s portal sites, it becomes possible to provide more diverse and higher quality services than before, and map services have become indispensable in real life and the service industry. As convenient and accurate as map services might be, however, the services also have security vulnerabilities. For instance, they may expose the location information of national critical facilities related to the safety of the public. More specifically, the location information is exposed not only by satellite and aerial images about national critical facilities but also by the names of facilities and places. This problem may lead to an increased risk of terrorism and provocation. This study analyzes the security problem with portal service maps, in which the names expose the location information about military installations and bases among national critical facilities. This study selected unique names, common names, and symbolic names as the names that can identify military installations and bases. By analyzing the exposure status of these names, this study explores countermeasures to prevent the exposure of location information of national critical facilities.
