New global internet reliability concerns emerge

On the ocean floor, the cables carrying the network are not adequately protected and there is no substitute for them if they do not work.

This is a new report based on UK policy exchanges and outlines that catastrophic effects can occur by simply cutting hose-sized underwater infrastructure.

In its new research report, the Policy Exchange Committee tsunami is a ship that is dragging an anchor, even a ship attacking Russia destroys the world's financial system or weakens Internet access in an independent country Can be said. (Pdf)

Anchor toe is obviously not unusual, it has occurred several times over the years - the latest incident occurred in Somalia earlier this year caused a three-week Internet epidemic in the country.

The Luzon Straight earthquake in 2006, and other prominent cable breakers caused a massive Internet outage and prevented communication across Asia

Research author Rishi Sunak does not list historical examples of terrorism or external destruction, but said there are many potential risks. Most submarine cable locations are publicly available. In addition, there are blocking points and numerous cable funnels. This means that a bad actor may have plenty of tears running. In addition, protection of cables under international law is restricted. They are owned and operated by companies, not governments.

Mr. Snack said the destroyer needed a submarine such as a submarine to perform sneaky behavior. However, once a representative of external force enters there, the work of cutting the cable is clearly relatively straightforward: the ocean floor fibers are usually covered with a simple galvanized steel wire and then coated with a plastic coating - It can easily be disconnected

The big problem is that the Internet has become increasingly important in recent years, but the maritime law is delayed.

Pointed out the lack of the Global Protection Convention and other legal issues, "The current international law is better suited to the surrounding role from the 1970s to the 1980s than today's essential position." He said there was also a lack of jurisdiction. As an example, this adversely affects whether a warship can board a ship and look for a suspicious ship.

The problem is that the cable is the only medium suitable for transmitting large amounts of data and bandwidth at sea.

"When most people talk or think about the Internet and the" cloud, "they imagine that the data is comfortably transmitted through the skies and satellites," Sumak said. It's not

In reality, 97% of the worldwide communication is done via a 500,000 mile optical fiber cable that is almost unprotected at the ocean floor.

"Satellites occupy only 3% of the worldwide data transmission," he said. "This is not an empty satellite but a pipeline under the sea that forms the backbone of the world economy."

"Even if the communication network collapses, the financial services sector will not stagnate, it will cease," Snak said Mr. Steve Matasla, Federal Reserve Chairman.

The reliability of the Internet is a potential problem and expert location data and callback numbers need to be sent to the emergency caller, emergency communications experts say. Independent energy analysts generally rejected this argument, saying that increasing renewable energy actually increases the reliability of the grid. Because reliability and security are important, RTC has a full backup function. Until today, many of the principles Mr. Heart emphasizes - reliability, error tolerance, self-correcting - are still the center of the robustness of the Internet. Electrical energy reliability aide Bruce Walker said in an interview. Russian rocket industry is in an unstable state due to external competition and domestic reliability problems, and this transaction seems speculative. In some measures, the line has the worst reliability record in the system, causing many problems with new signals.

With advances in technology in the 21st century and the global impact of the Internet, privacy has become a global focus. Several important issues are emerging, including ever-increasing cybercrime, and new technologies are unrelated to the old privacy laws raising concerns about reforming the old privacy laws and aligning them with emerging technologies To do. In the face of these concerns, it is difficult to deal with various problems.
