In Moving forward on VOIP, Kevin Werbach says he's worried about trying to distinguish VOIP regulations based on the nature of the network (private, public, etc). I'll go a step farther than Kevin and state flat out that this makes no sense. Firewalls and distinctions between networks is not a feature - it's a problem that messes things up every day. It's all IP (is Voice Over IP for heaven's sake) so it is one network. Any arbitrary distinctions will be worked around immediately. 9:54:02 PM     trackback []

'Internet Security Model debunked' is a very interesting read about the inherent threat model of the Internet. While I think it's useful to consider if it a reasonable security model given how the web world generally works, I'm much more interested in observing how people misuse SSL as the magic solution to all networking security problems. Too many people are taking the approach that if it's traffic on the Internet, then SSL must be the right answer. Worse yet, too many people are playing along.
