Longer-term, one of the few rays of light for S. Korea is the work that is just starting around providing JS-based cypto in the browser (i.e. not via a plugin.)

http://domcrypt.org/

If you are interested in helping to get S. Korea off Active-X, your help in getting WebCrypto developed and standardized is probably the best thing you can do (as a developer.)

(I work for Mozilla but not on DOMCrypt.)



Why wouldn't a stand-alone application or device serve this purpose much better? The requirement of a confirmation code generated by a simple piece of electronics not more sophisticated than a pocket calculator or a mobile app could side-step this completely.
