When Roger Grimes posted a white paper last week called "Fixing the Internet: A security solution," it was met with as many critics as supporters.
The problem stems from privacy vs. security. "In short, [critics] say that my plan is an utter invasion of personal privacy,” Grimes explains in Defending Fixing the Internet. "My answer? Yes, it is!"
It's not simple, naturally, and Grimes contends to be a big proponent of personal privacy. But, he argues, privacy is not a binary yes or no decision and, what's more, his solution doesn't require folks to surrender their privacy.
"In the current model, even if I need better identity or integrity, as a sender or receiver, I can't easily guarantee that across multiple protocols to multiple partners."
