This article talks about the "war on encryption" whereby governments are scared that with the advancements and adoption of technological architectures, it is increasingly harder to track down terrorists and kidnappers due to the advanced encryption on communications that limits the government's ability. However, it is believe that because of how freely everyone is sharing and revealing their personal data through the Internet, these acts as accessible sources for intelligence agencies and will help in the government efforts of tracking and surveilling communications.
This article is relevant to the topic of Security and it shows the dilemma involved in this area of focus. Firstly, with the adoption of encryption software, it is believe to solve security issues yet the government feels that it is providing a platform for terrorist oraganisations to go under the radar and conduct their wars. Yet, the recent lessons on how easily personal data and information are shared on the internet can result in security issues are instead thought to be able to bypass these "encryptions" and help solve the problem.
