Security

The Security concerns of Nanotechnology pertain to current conventional weapons, biologically created ones, and many more by means of Nanotechnological production (Drege, 2013). Security concerns in the field of Nanomedicine can relate to artificial organs or any implanted systems. As seen in Vice President Dick Cheney, there was fear of his implanted pacemaker becoming compromised and someone inducing a Cardiac Arrhythmia (Kloeffler, 2013). The same concept could apply to any artificial implant received. If there are transceivers in such systems they could be hacked, interfered with, malfunction. Furthermore, with new technologies new forms of hacking may arise , Also if an Electronic Magnetic Pulse wave or large magnets, came into contact with said electronic organs/nanobots/other devices it could cause them to malfunction, whether by design or by accident .
