could get in peace that no one would get permission over your confidential content. We are quite aware
that the war between the good guys and the bad guys is the never-ending game between the cat and the
mouse and even if the good guys get in position to make some sort of advantage in front of the bad guys



  • it does not mean that advantage would last for a while. In the practice, we need the intelligent thinkers
    who would create the good tactics and strategies in order to prevent us from being accessed and
    overused for the needs of the black market.


The impact to society and economy


The successful cyber breaches could mean a lot of valuable information could get stolen and sold on the
black market causing the non-returnable damage to so many private and business environments. If we
choose to develop the good access control, we need to think a bit how we could prevent our communities
and the overall economy from being affected. That’s not the easy task and as it’s well-known, the impacts
of the perfectly made access control could get so far reaching. The fact is we always need to put a lot of
our effort in order to maintain our social, economical and reputational losses at the minimal stage. There
is no absolute security, but if we invest our time as well as human and technological resources in order
to combat the cybercrime and terrorism on, we can expect the quite good outcomes back.


Some further suggestions


Through this overview, we have attempted to provide some insights into the strong and weak sides of a
today’s access control procedure. As we know, there are a lot of cryptographic algorithms being available
worldwide and every single day there would be more and more cryptosystems as the researchers and
mathematicians over the globe are investigating and discovering the new and new models and
approaches. We live in the digital age and our emerging technology seeks to get safe, but that’s not such
a simple task at all. Finally, there is the huge need to go deep with our explorations in order to produce
something that would offer us much more secure living and working conditions, so far.
