Security in the modern virtual world

Abstract

In the present work, the author presents the hazards surrounding our most valuable resource, namely information. The world that we have known for a long time has evolved imperceptibly, and we have sunk into virtual existence, surrounded by the technologies and techniques that govern us, our documents, our data and our everyday life. Information as a resource is more and more easily accessible, although it has a personal, secret, corporate character, or a national security status. In view of the above, it is good to build ways and algorithms to prevent various attacks in the virtual world, but also to educate people about basic hygiene in dealing with risky information resources, technologies, software applications, and more.
