"We say again deliberately that human ingenuity
cannot concoct a cypher
which human ingenuity cannot resolve."
(E.A.Poe)

In the so called information societies - which are still in their 'blissfully unaware' infancy - individuals, companies and organisations
(that is smaller and larger groups) are marionette puppets hanging on the thousands of thin threads of electronic information, held in the hands of the power. Now, the key concept of these global infocommunication societies is information security.
Everyone would like this promising 'infant' to become a healthy child and later a happy and human-centered grown-up society.
The necessary condition of this happening is a safe storage and transition of the huge amount of information and digital identities, protected from interference by strangers. Alan M.Turing wrote the following in his paper published in 1950, which was the start of all the artificial intelligence (AI) research:
'I propose to consider the question "Can machines think?"'
It has been hardly more than 50 years since then and the Turing test is an everyday practice for e-societies.
The e-society of the XXI. century has to face a new question.
I propose to consider the new question:
'Is it real or virtual information an the black-box of global information systems?' (T.D.T.)
