In 21187 the Industrial & Commercial Executive published a white paper on obstacles to the expansion of commercial activity on the internet that identified low levels of trust among Kiravian consumers in paid online services and digital advertising, linked to concerns about fraud, payment security, and lack of regulation. In response, the Kiravian Internet Organisation recommended the nesting of second-level "accredited domains" under .kr, registration under which would be restricted to entities able to document their offline legitimacy and maintain a good record of regulatory compliance.

Accredited domains remain desirable and highly sought after. However, a 21199 audit by the federal Consumer Protection Bureau found that although enforcement of registration policies under certain subdomains was sufficiently rigorous, applications under many other domains were subject to inconsistent and often cursory verification. The CPB probe found that many applications lodged with fake documentation were granted, and that in a handful of cases Kiravia Online accepted applications with clearly incomplete or bogus documents (e.g. blank PDFs or scanned grocery coupons instead of dentistry diplomas). | ||
