Sunghyuck Hong, Junghoon An · 2008
Abstract ─ The Internet networking is getting more popular in Virtual community which must have a strong security feature to protect member’s privacy and message integrity. Without using a strong security feature in virtual community, virtual community will not accomplish the goal to communicate with members in developing common interests. However, all systems can be hacked, and there are no exceptions to this rule. All security efforts must focus on reducing risks and provide members strong assurance about security. Therefore, physical address-based authentication will improve the trust relationship between members and virtual community.
