ABSTRACT

AUTHENTICATION & anonymization

Low prosecution rates for acts of cybercrime and cyberterrorism are due, to some extent, to an inability to identify the actors involved. Without this knowledge the capacity for mitigation, prevention of future attacks and bringing perpetrators to justice is severely limited. The advent of Big Data and the Internet of Things will see anonymization increase with further pressures on authentication systems from both the inside and the outside. To stem this tide, appropriate measures are necessary to ensure that the safety and security of users is protected and enhanced in a world where social networks and wearable devices are commonplace and people are exposed to an increase in the dangers from phishing, identity theft, and information disclosure.

The goal is to design, formulate and create innovative solutions appropriate for a future where authentication is still possible and anonymization does not protect and give further advantage to cybercriminals and cyberterrorists
