New Individual Identification System Sought
South Korea is seeking to replace the required usage of resident registration numbers in cyberspace by introducing a new individual identification system. Information-Communication Minister Chin Dae-je yesterday told a press conference that the Korean version of social security numbers need to be complemented with a new system to protect individuals' online identity.
"Currently, abuses of resident registration numbers are a serious social problem. We are thinking of embarking on a new online identification system," Chin said.... Names and resident registration numbers are musts to subscribe to most Korean Web sites which need to identify customers or check their eligibility for adult materials....When the numbers end up in the hands of criminals, they can be used to forge bank accounts or to make fake cell phones in the name of the innocent victims.

Is it a government requirement for websites to collect resident registration numbers, or is it a decision made by individual webmasters?
| Quote: |
| The 13-digit number system, initiated about four decades ago, is a combination of birth date, gender, the first registration region and registration order. |
It's shocking that people hand this number out so readily, especially considering that the rest of the internet gets along fine without asking for them.
The people who own these databases are sitting on a LOT of money. Not the kind of place I'd want my vitals to be. |

No, but have you ever heard of any netizens making death threats to teachers?

Is that so! That's the most interesting thing I've heard all day. I have seen sites from time to time that didn't require them and always wondered.
Interesting side note: I had an easier time getting a membership on the North Korean site www.kccp.net than on any S. Korean site. |

I think the esteemed mithridates meant http://www.kcckp.net/, the website of The Pyongyang Times, the progranda mouthpiece of the DPRK.
Good luck trying to access DPRK websites in S.Korea though.
