| Popis: | In just a few years, ransomware evolved into one of the most pernicious threats on the web. From hijacking private disks, the cybercriminals moved to disabling hospital networks, while the cyberwarriors launched destructive cyberwar exercises masquerading as ransomware. To match the variety of attacks, there is also a variety of promising proposals for the mitigation of the ransomware problem by disrupting the attack cycle at various points. None of them seems to be eliminating the vulnerability of static nodes in dynamic networks. We put forward the idea that ransomware is a symptom of a broader problem of architectural imbalance in social computation, while the processes are dynamic and nonlocal, the storage is static and local. We study and discuss some paths toward dynamic, nonlocal, and secure storage. Furthermore, we provide a toy method for locally encrypting the data that can provide a balance of high security and encryption speed. |
