Kyo‐il Chung (鄭敎逸)

Dr. Chung, Director of Convergence Security Research Group has joined ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunication Research Institute) since 1982.

He is concerned in the information security technology field for the mobile environments, smart card system, electronic payment, biometrics, information warfare, digital forensics, ubiquitous computing including RFID and a variety of cryptographic technologies. He has many talks related in information security technologies.

As writings, he has many patents and research papers about the fast implementation on hardware system such as FPGA and IC cards. Also he has published some books related to RFID (Korean edition).

Especially, as the member of ITU-T SG17, he leads international standardization about the security framework in the telecommunication system. His contributions are registered as X.1121 and X.1122. Last September, he has made contributions related to ‘home network security’ as X.1113 and ‘Web Service Security’ as X.1153. Also, he presented the “Security issues in RFID systems” in ITU Workshop, October, 2005 and “Security Issues in RFID and Sensor Networks”in ITU Workshop, February, 2006.

As well, he was a professor of next generation security part in UST(University of Science and Technology, Korea), and now he is working for standardization in various SDOs such as Chair of TC1(Technical Committee of Common Base Technology) in TTA(Telecommunications Technology Association), Chair of Home Network Security Forum, Chair of Korea IC Card Forum in KEPIA(Korea Electronic Payment Industries Association), Chair of Security Group in Mobile RFID Forum, Chair of Electronic Passport Standardization Group of IC Card Research Centre in SNU(Seoul National Univ.).

He was registered in “International Who’s Who’ 2003 edition. He has received a Letter of Citation form MIC(Ministry of Information and Communication, 1992), the Technology Enhanced Award from KIISC(Korea Institute of Information Security & Cryptology, 2004) and the Distinguished Service Awards from IEEK (Institute of Electronic Engineers of Korea, 2007), ATS (Agency for Technology and Standards, 2007), TTA (Telecommunications Technology Association, 2007), NPA (National Polica Agency, 2007).
