보안취약점 협력대응제도(CVD) 도입을 위한 법제화 방안 연구: 정보통신망법 중심으로

Recently, the US and EU have been institutionally introducing and promoting Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure(CVD) to strengthen the response to security vulnerabilities in ICT products and services, based on collaboration with white-hat hackers. In response to these changes in cybersecurity, we propose a three-step approach to introduce CVD through the Information and Communications Network Act(ICNA). In the first step, to comprehend the necessity and requirements for legislating CVD, we survey the current situation in Korea and the trends of CVD in the US, EU, and OECD. In the second step, we analyze the necessity for legislating CVD and derive the requirements for its legislation. In this paper, we analyze the necessity for legislating CVD from three perspectives: the need for introducing CVD, the need for institutionalization based on law, and the suitability of the ICNA as the legislation. The derived requirements for CVD legislation include the establishment and publication of Vulnerability Disclosure Policy(VDP), legal protection for white-hat hackers, and designation and role assignments of coordinator. In the third step, we introduce approaches to apply the requirements for CVD legislation to the ICNA, which is the law governing prevention and response to cybersecurity incidents in private sector.
