We discuss the key issues and tensions at play and the harmful impacts of such proposals. Weakening E2EE will not address the root causes of online child sex abuse and result in not only violating the privacy of the population at large but also of the young people whom such proposals aim to protect in the first instance.","PeriodicalId":13152,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Security & Privacy","volume":"23 3","pages":"51-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147883791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This malware attacked network-facing programs by exploiting their memory errors, hijacking their execution to perform malicious operations and propagate the malware to other systems. One key change that commercial systems adopted to prevent such attacks was in access control enforcement. With the enhanced access control (and other defenses), defenders were able to prevent Internet worm attacks, but a variety of other significant and catastrophic attacks (e.g., ransomware) have emerged since that time. But our access control infrastructure is essentially the same as that used to combat Internet worms. In this column, I want to look more closely at the current state of access control enforcement and where we might go from here.","PeriodicalId":13152,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Security & Privacy","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
