“棱镜”所折射出的数据安全问题探讨

Discussion on Data Security Aroused by Prism

在信息技术日新月异的今天,人们的生活越来越依赖网络空间,人们的个人隐私和国家安全相关数据广泛分布于网络空间,但是网络空间的数据安全状况并没有得到有效提升:利用电磁波接收器窃取数据的技术门槛和成本越来越低,针对有线网络的搭线窃听也已经没有技术瓶颈,木马、病毒不断侵蚀网络系统终端,从无序大数据中提炼敏感信息的技术方兴未艾,网络空间的数据安全面临前所未有的挑战。强化信息系统软硬件的安全检测和数据安全保护势在必行,而加强立法和监管对维护网络空间秩序至关重要。但是,数据"防窃取、防滥用"任重道远。

With the rapid development in information technology, cyberspace becomes a necessary element to the people＇s life, and the data relating to people＇s privacy and national security is broadly disseminated in cyberspace, while still no solid effort is done to promote its security. The cost to intercept and capture radio signals becomes even cheaper, the wiretapping on wired network is so easy and without any technical bottleneck, the computer viru and Trojan horse often break through the network system, and the big data analysis provides a powerful tool in acquiring important information. So the data security in cyberspace now faces some unprecedented challenges, and it is time to strengthen security test on information system and data protection method. In addition, it is also an urgent task to strengthen law-making and supervision. However, there is still a long way to go in protecting data in cyberspace from being eavesdropped and abused arbitrarily.
