KISTEP 10 Emerging Technologies 2014

 

Technology	Details
Biometrics	(Definition) Authentication using the unique biometric information, using fingerprints, voice and retina. (Application) Provide high security with increasing online activity where identity disguise or illegal use can be prevented.   (Impact) This can replace current personal identification method, however, the biometric information can be leaked to elsewhere. As the security tightens, online financial service activities are expected to rise. It is expected to have a Impact of $ 350 million domestically and $ 9.3 billion world wide.
Hypervisor-based security	(Definition) Security product and service technology which runs virtually, in order to prevent attacks within the virtual environment using VM (Virtual machine) (Application) Prevent any security breach within the virtual environment whilst smart work, BYOD trend and cloud computing are invigorating.   (Impact) Through virtual security technology, expansion of smart work, cloud service and etc are accelerating the change of work pattern. Improvement of security leads to an increase in financial services. Cloud security related virtualization technology is worth $ 38 million in Korea and $ 1.5 billion world wide.
Quantum communication	(Definition) The technology is a method to deliver the password created using quantum technology safely; when there is a bug, the password key will be damaged.   (Application) Tapping and monitoring are blocked initially providing a new paradigm of security system for areas such as financial network where personal information pass around.   (Impact) Not only information leakage can be blocked at source, but the transmission speed can be vastly increased. Quantum communication technology is worth $ 3.3 billion world wide.
Bigdata based crime prediction	(Definition) Analyze past crime data and comprehend the pattern to predict the place and time when crimes are likely to occur.   (Application) Provide detailed analysis of the site and the type of crimes that occur near the address in order to prevent the crime as well as deploy more police force.   (Impact) It will be an effective strategy to reduce the crime rate, however, will cause over-spilling of personal data. If big data is used for public parts, EU reports that there will be € 150~ 300 billion economic advantage occurring.
Micro drone	(Definition) The drone can detect danger flying both indoors and outdoors, and follow to provide information. (Application) Not only fight against the crime, for example, monitoring the crime and tracing the criminal, but also used as a recon (fire, military and so on)   (Impact) Personal needs for drones will increase for safety purposes and it can be used for everyday life such as delivery. However, new laws will be required for accidents and invasion of privacy. It is expected to have $ 1.2 billion economic effect.
Context aware computing	(Definition) The technology is a software which analyzes the user’s action, surrounding environments and etc to automatically perform appropriate function.   (Application) Through understanding the crime situation, it can help the user to respond to the crime immediately. In addition, in cyber area, automatic trespassing detection and etc can counteract the attacks.   (Impact) Not only work in security areas, but also it can work as personal AI secretary. A lot of work in service areas are replaced by computers, therefore, it creates $ 14.7 billion economic benefit.
Electronic nose	(Definition) The technology is an electronic device which imitates human olfactory system as human nose cannot continuously smell different odors and there is a limit to which it can detect.   (Application) Through the reaction with odor molecules, the technology can detect harmful substances, for example, food, environment and medicine.   (Impact) Real time approach to human body risk information will lead to a change in food distribution environment. The biosensor will create $ 14.4billion economic benefit.
Smart food packaging	(Definition) Monitor temperature, pH, pressure, light and other external environmental changes and adapt to protect food.   (Application) The technology will maintain and improve the quality of food during the process of delivery, therefore, increase the safety profile of food.   (Impact) This packaging method can maintain the food and its freshness, therefore, reduce the risk of food poisoning as well as changing the food industry and distribution. Packaging industry is expected to have the market size of $ 43.3 billion.
Paper-based Lab-on-a-Chip	(Definition) The technology uses nano-chip on papers to diagnose the causative organism of the disease immediately and precisely on site.   (Application) At medical sites, the technology can quickly and exactly diagnose the organism from the infected patients.   (Impact) The technology can create new medical services within households through a simple diagnostic method. In addition, at a national level, early measures can be made against infectious disease, reducing social costs. Molecular diagnosis market has the market size of $ 70 million in Korea and $ 5.8 billion world wide.
Green vaccine	(Definition) The technology uses genetic engineering technology to insert useful genetic trait into plants where they can create mass production of useful proteins (vaccines).   (Application) The technology can help mass production of economic vaccines without the risk for pathogenic infections and with simple cultivation condition. Therefore, when there is a large scale of the epidemic, vaccines can be provided quickly and easily.   (Impact) The plants can be consumed for treatment of diseases, and through mass production, it will cut the social and economical costs. Vaccine market has the market size of $ 12.5 billion world wide.
