Just a bit of additional background that I hope is not too tangential within this thread...
Security in these contexts is generally about protecting Rights, which makes it a Civil Law matter for most folks folks who are playing defense rather than offense (when it tends to be a Criminal Law matter). In Civil Law, Judgement tests tend to be based on "preponderance of evidence", as opposed to the higher standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt" that is the threshold for Criminal Law. A few of the implications I see in this are: * One implication is that "2 factor" is likely to grow to be (3... 4...) 5-factor as the "arms race" between the "Haves" and "HaveNots" continues. * Another implication is that factors are not of equal importance, but instead are very context-sensitive. For example ** In a dispute about the ownership of an expensive wrist watch, a judge is likely to award custody to the claimant who can correctly recite its serial number. ** in real estate, the value of the asset is relatively large, so many jurisdictions have an accepted "Book of Record" that records the details of the "conveyance" of the ownership of the property from Party A, for a declared Price, to Party B. Bother parties are obliged to establish their Identities to a much higher standard than is the case in transactions of lower value. ** in Banking, account access mechanisms need to distinguish between Current accounts (with just enough money to get through a time period conveniently) from Asset accounts (which need proportionately more stringent access controls) A third implication is the effect of Privacy on Security. Technologies like DistributedLedgerTechnologies are emerging that provide permanent records of Transactions and their Terms. The needs for and rights to Anonymity in these systems are not yet well understood and are certainly likely to be contentious given the tensions between lawful and unlawful behaviors. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
