Re: Symptoms vs. Causes

Erik,

You have to put the two together.  If we do, we find that we can solve 
the UI problem by taking authentication OUT of known insecure 
components.  But that requires a protocol to that authentication 
component.  If one exists, what is it?  It requires process 
interactions.  What are those?   All of this needs to be written down IN 
THIS CONTEXT.  The secure communication path must be capable of opaquely 
traveling through a host without knowledge of IP address, for instance.  
We've done stuff like this before, but not in this context.  TLS depends 
on IP address.  Oops.

And then there's registration.  Uyh.
