Mandatory use of resident registration number in Korean websites is likely to result in an violation of privacy. The Korea government introduced i-PIN(Internet Personal Identification Number) to solve this problem in Oct of 2006. But the implementation of i-PIN has failed to decrease violation of privacy. Therefore, we must open our eyes to problems of i-PIN and the importance of privacy protection. This study analyzes the policy failures of i-PIN and considers countermeasures for protecting privacy on the Internet, and explores policy alternatives to secure privacy on the Internet by analyzing the implementation process of i-PIN. In conclusion, this study stresses the urgent need for a well-thought-out policy in order to solve the problems of i-PIN on the Internet. It expects that the i-PIN will make a big stride for the realization of secure electronic government.
