Distributed Security Framework
A 2005 paper on a distributed security framework by Susan Brenner and Leo Clarke has recently been getting a lot of attention on the blogs. Both Bruce Schneier and Michael Kassner have recently commented on the efficacy of this approach to information security that professes to take a more proactive approach rather than the typical reactive stance that is too common in the security industry. Included in this paper is discussion about international cybercrime treaties, the use of police recruiting of civilians in fighting cybercrime. The authors also suggest the idea that it would be illegal to gain access to the Internet except through a licensed ISP.
What do you think about this proposed framework for information security? Why do you think it has only now gained the degree of attention that it seems to be recently experiencing? Share your thoughts.
