Re: Standards Bodies need notice

I don't agree with you on concept of Internet of trust where only allowed devices can access it as implications of that are too far fetched.

Trust, to the extent that "this device is configured with reasonable protection against remote attacks, which includes [list of security 101 measures]". This needs to be done to mitigate proliferation of Mirai c.s., and is by no means the one single solution required.

TLDR There is solution but it's not even remotely close to what you're rallying for.

I haven't seen any details of YOUR plan yet. Care to provide some, instead of muttering defaitist boilerplate?
