Abstract
The Subject of Communication and Information Security (CIS) [38.1, 2], the transfer of accurate and uncompromised information as well as the secure transfer of information has become an international issue ever since 31 December 1999. The year 2000 scare, which has been coded as the Y2K scare, refers to what prominent scientists and business people feared that all computer networks and the systems that are controlled or operated by them could break down with the turn of the millennium since their synchronizing clocks could lose synchronization by not recognizing a number (instruction) with three zeros. A positive outcome of this scare was the creation of the various CERTS (Computer Emergency Response Teams) around the world which now work cooperatively to exchange expertise, information and are coordinated in case of major problems arise in the modern IT environment. The nucleus of this effort, initially, was the collaboration of the USA, UK and Australia by forming the first international CERT in order to cooperatively solve this type of problems. The terrorist attack in New York on 11 September 2001 caused this scare to become a permanent international nightmare. The international community responded quickly to face both fronts using sophisticated technology. One front being the transfer of reliable information via secure networks and the other being the collection of information about potential terrorists even via sophisticated surveillance and information collecting mechanisms. Now all people around the word live more or less under the impression that the whole world is nothing but a “Big Brother” living space and thus the need of the legal framework to protect them.
