(DESI) Interview with Dr. Gilberto Di Benedetto on Genomic Mapping of Migrants for Counterterrorism

presidente del DESI-Polcyber Luciano Consorti Castiglia

Interviewer: Luciano Consorti Castiglia

In an increasingly interconnected world and a society facing security challenges, there arises the need to explore innovative approaches to counter terrorism effectively. One of these innovative approaches involves mapping the genomes of migrants using “DNARTSIGN” technology. Today, we have the pleasure of having with us Dr. Gilberto Di Benedetto, an expert in the field of security and technology, who will kindly explain the necessity and implications of this process.

Interviewer Luciano Consorti Castiglia: Dr. Di Benedetto, could you kindly explain the necessity of mapping the genomes of migrants for counterterrorism purposes using “DNARTSIGN” technology?

Dr. Di Benedetto: Certainly, it is a highly relevant topic. Accurate identification of migrants is crucial to enhance national security. “DNARTSIGN” technology allows for the unique identification of individuals through their genome. This can assist authorities in verifying identities and detecting potential connections to terrorist activities, providing a clearer framework for counterterrorism and, in turn, strengthening national security.

Interviewer Luciano Consorti Castiglia: What are the primary privacy concerns when it comes to mapping the genomes of migrants?

Dr. Di Benedetto: Privacy is a critical issue in this process. “DNARTSIGN” technology is designed to robustly protect genetic data through advanced encryption measures. Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that migrants are fully informed, and their consent is voluntary and informed before proceeding with genomic mapping. Respecting individual rights is a cornerstone of this process.

Interviewer Luciano Consorti Castiglia: How can the goal of national security be balanced with respect for the human rights of migrants?

Dr. Di Benedetto: Striking a balance between national security and human rights is a delicate but achievable matter. Authorities must adhere to stringent ethical and legal standards in managing migrants’ genetic data. Additionally, ensuring transparent and limited access to genomic information is crucial to prevent abuse and safeguard human rights.

Interviewer Luciano Consorti Castiglia: What guarantees exist that this genetic data will not be used for purposes other than counterterrorism?

Dr. Di Benedetto: It is essential to establish clear laws and regulations that govern the use of genetic data and the purposes for which it can be employed. Furthermore, close oversight and regulation by competent institutions can ensure that the data is exclusively used for national security purposes and is not subject to abuse.

Interviewer Luciano Consorti Castiglia: How can the migrant community be engaged in this process?

Dr. Di Benedetto: Actively involving the migrant community is essential. Collaborating with community leaders, providing clear information, and ensuring that migrants are fully aware of security measures and their rights can contribute to gaining their support and cooperation. Transparency and open communication are crucial in this context.

Interviewer Luciano Consorti Castiglia: Finally, how can “DNARTSIGN” technology enhance the effectiveness of counterterrorism operations?

Dr. Di Benedetto: “DNARTSIGN” technology provides an extremely accurate and secure method of identification. This can assist law enforcement in identifying suspicious individuals or connections to terrorist activities with greater certainty. This enables more targeted and effective action in ensuring national security, thereby contributing to more efficient prevention of potential threats.
