<\/a>image from here<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Meanwhile all kinds of sharks, Dobermanns and vultures start to circulate you: the system has not identified you, and you are more than just \u2018unidentified\u2019<\/i>, you are alien<\/i>. You are person non-grata, and no one would listen to your pleas. This is, in a nutshell, the spectrum of things that I felt today.<\/p>\n Good news: this is exactly why we run the #BionicManDiary<\/a> project. We identify faults and malfunctions at an early stage and seek solutions which are convenient, clear and simple. We immediately called a meeting with the security guys to find out what happened to my chip.<\/p>\n I must admit they also were quite nervous. Well, from a technical stand point, the reason of the malfunction was quite trivial. When the chip was registered in the security system, it was assigned a unique certificate, or, to be more precise, a combination of certificates. One of them expired, confusing the system, which immediately disabled access to everything until further notice \u2013 just to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n While my identity was being restored (sounds weird, doesn\u2019t it? It won\u2019t in the future, however, but I am objectively the first cyborg who said it, so mark this 1. I don\u2019t remember phone numbers of my friends or relatives.<\/b><\/p>\n My first intention was to call someone for help. But it turned out that my memory adapted to my new lifestyle: I remember many essentials of everyday life, including a 45-digit password for the data storage, but I don\u2019t remember a single phone number, including those of my family. My memory works as some kind of register: it does not store phone numbers but directories where they can be found.<\/p>\n If you cannot authorize via biochip, you don\u2019t have access to the phone book. At first I wanted to borrow a phone from the security guy, but then understood it would be in vain. The only numbers I managed to remember were \u201c911\u201d and \u201c112\u201d \u2014 that\u2019s horrifying.<\/p>\n 2. It\u2019s totally wrong to cut off access in an instant. There should be some kind of \u2018intermediary state,\u2019 like the \u2018last chance\u2019 to get access.<\/b><\/p>\n I understood that the current authorization approach is not perfect. It has only two states: \u2018access granted\u2019 and \u2018access denied\u2019. When in the second state, a person is absolutely helpless. It\u2019s good that it had happened to me, an experimenter, and I was lucky to be at work, in my comfort zone, where I was able to do all the troubleshooting without extra stress.<\/p>\n What if this happened to an ordinary user who was deprived of access to all of his assets, being somewhere in the woods or driving home from a remote location? Being unable to access basic services like an emergency wallet and digital ID which would identify him at least as a temporary owner of, say, a driver\u2019s license, a person would not make it even to home or office.<\/p>\n 3. What happens if the electricity is turned down?<\/b><\/p>\n It\u2019s a very strange and highly unreal scenario, but just imagine that all electric appliances all over the city, country or even on the planet went off? Hundreds of thousands, millions or billions of people would face the same problem as I did today. Does anyone have a Plan B?<\/p>\ntweet<\/s> moment!), I jotted down the problems I faced and now will share the most critical ones with you.<\/p>\n![image from <a href=\"http:\/\/inagblog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>](\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2016\/05\/06022231\/bionicmandiary-7-2.png\")
