I will resist the obvious rejoinder. And no, it is not short-sighted. Assuming that physical user interfaces are likely to become obsolete in favor of something else is simply not consistent with reality. Physical UIs are easy to understand. Making someone go to a configuration page on your router is hard to understand. I think in fact that one of the reasons we fail in security on the Internet is precisely that we fail to understand how people interact with UIs, and design protocols that require UIs with which most people cannot successfully interact. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
