[Full-disclosure] Security as an Enabler - Virtual Trust: An Open Challe

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Security as an Enabler - Virtual Trust: An Open Challenge to All InfoSec Professionals
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 19:08:02 -0400 
I've been defending Virtual Trust as an enabler for the past three days 
on the full-disclosure list. So far, fairly successfully.

Here's the challenge: How creative are you *for* VT, *against* VT and 
determining the *impact* of VT?

Here's your chance to figure out what works and what doesn't with the 
theory I've proposed.

Naturally, the results may (or may not!) significantly impact our field.

I have set up three pages on my blog for comments. All I ask is the 
following:

1. Keep an open mind
2. Read the main source material before posting
3. Provide a thoughtful reply

I look forward to the ultimate peer review.

Bring it on!

Ken
