Reposted without asking permission, but I don't think Phillip Hallam-Baker will
mind:
... if security is going to be any use to people it has to be easy enough
that a
60+ year old grandmother who left school before the Internet arrived can use
it
because she is the US Secretary of State.
We have tried the maximalist approach to security for 30 years and it has
been a
complete failure. We have one widely deployed Internet security protocol and
it
is limited to the transport layer.
It is with this in mind, that we can understand how some pragmatic security
concessions can ultimately gain more security for more users than they appear
to forgo at first glance.
