The Influence of Increasing Security Systems and the Destruction of Privacy

The strong development of information and communication technology (ICT) as well as the fact that there are currently over 800 million on-line users worldwide, bring us to the position of rethinking carefully about where all this data is going. Sending and receiving secure data is a well known concept. But what about data in the "open space" where everyone who knows how and has adequate technology can intercept or eavedrop our data and use it against us, to harm us or our family or to destroy the organization where we working in. The traditional answer to these influences is the development of strong security mechanisms and systems which will be able to protect us (in most cases) from our self and from others as well. Such security systems have the possibility to monitor all communication between users in a specific network or subnet and collect all information exchanged between them. And this is what we see as the main problem. Someone who monitors the system has access to all information about the network's users and can take advantage of these data as he pleases. This means that someone always has full access to all private user data. Herein we introduce some ways of protecting users from legally monitoring of their private data.
