2.35 Cybersecurity
Collective for a broad range of issues from IT security, via information or content security, to security against Internet misuse and cybercrime.
Note:
As the Internet architecture was not designed with cybersecurity in mind, incorporating security protection requires substantial changes to the very basis of the Internet, the TCP/IP, including among others:
- Security by design
- Security architecture
- Hardware mechanisms that protect computers and data
- Secure operating systems
- Secure coding
- Capabilities and access control lists.
The balance between cybersecurity and human rights, especially the right to privacy, anonymity and freedom of expression, is in constant flux.
