セキュリティの本質

医療／医学，そして技術は何のためにあるのか

抄録

The term “security” covers a wider concept than simply crime prevention or countermeasures against information leakage. Although security is one of the most important considerations for modern society, security has not uniquely defined and is used in a variety of contexts which can often lead to misunderstandings. To address this problem, we propose a context insensitive concept of security and a new systematic approach for embodying the security which is applicable in any case. Generalized security can be viewed as maintaining smooth operations even in the face of disturbances. Using this context insensitive notion of security and by taking hints from some philosophical methodology, we can ponder the essential meaning of security, or the common goal that medicine and state-of-the-art information technologies such as AI, IoT, Cloud, Big Data, Mobile, etc. should pursue.
