Encryption and protection of the legitimate interests versus the fight against cyberterrorism and other cybercrimes

Original language description

The use of open systems, laptops with remote access, clouds and other existing options of IT causes the growing importance of data encryption as an effective and nowadays most reliable tool for protecting information in today's world. Breaking encrypted data if we keep to the standard practices for creating an encrypted file and use high quality algorithms and keys is already very expensive and virtually unsolvable task. On the other hand, every tool, including a cipher device (tool), can be abused, for example, to encrypt data of any user. In this case the user encryption protection is not sufficient, because an attacker can encrypt the already encrypted data (see the current ransomware attacks), or also lock up cipher keys, delete it, etc. The third important aspect is the worsening of security situation in the world, including the inclusion of cyberspace as a new operational domain in international conflicts (in the USA and NATO too). Finally, the fourth aspect is the current extreme pressure of states, even those that claim to be democratic states (e.g. in the EU) concerned the breaking of personality protection, personal privacy, trade secrets, the confidentiality of news and all other possible sources of information. The main content of this paper is to analyse these four aspects, especially the warning against breaking of privacy and bringing the cryptology practically outside the law as well as against the increased necessity of observance of constitutional guarantees and civil liberties regardless of the increased time turbulences, or perhaps because of it.
