    Mean Security
AI Thread Summary
Operational security (OPSEC) refers to the processes and measures taken to protect sensitive information from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. In the context of an internet cafe with public computers, the lack of operational security is evident, as anyone can use these computers, making it easy for malicious actors to intercept data. Public networks are particularly vulnerable to hacking, which contrasts with the more secure internal networks typically provided by companies that implement specific security protocols to safeguard communications. Understanding OPSEC is crucial for maintaining privacy and protecting sensitive information in shared or public environments.

A company usually provides an internal network with special security checks in place that hackers can't interfere with.
 
Very clear man...Thank you.

This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
