In 1997, we focused on legal problems, which arise from electronic consumer transactions. Firstly, we explored legal environments, which would remove legal obstacles and promote electronic commerce. Secondly, we analyzed legal problems about electronic money and electronic negotiable instruments. Thirdly, we studied the problems on private international law. Fourthly we studied criminal regulations of illegal contents, and criminal responsibility of Internet service providers.In 1998, we focused on electronic commerce between business entities, especially legal framework of promoting EDI.In particularly we studied legal problems about electronic authentication or electronic signatures. We also analyzed electronic payment system in electronic commerce. In addition, legal problems concerning criminal regulations on illegal access to electronic data were thoroughly explored.As the results of above stated research, we came to the conclusion that some legislative measures are necessary in the fields of electronic contract law, electronic authentication, and private international law, but new legal regulations are not indispensable with respect to criminal law and electronic payment. Finally, we made our own legislative proposals in the name of our research group.
