Subject: Re: [wsdm] Security Questions: Are Manageable Resources Secure?
(I'm catching up with wsdm email...) Should we call out "privacy" along with authentication and authorization. Essentially, privacy is the encrypted wrapping of message payloads. While access to data is controlled by authentication and authorization, privacy minimizes the possibility that sensitive information can be sniffed and seen by unauthorized individuals having a promiscuous interface on a shared network segment. Examples of sensitive data are bank account or credit card numbers, medical information about a patient, or the password for a user. Some data should not be transmitted to authenticated and authorized individuals unless it is encrypted. Regards, Mark Heather Kreger wrote:
