ISSUE-68: Note summary, goals, and scope should more clearly focus on problem to be solved---impersonation http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/Group/track/issues/68 Raised by: Stuart Schechter On product: Note: use cases etc. In talking with MeZ, she thinks 90% of what we're doing is fighting impersonation attacks. Fighting impersonation means making it easier to for users to know what site they are communicating with, and reducing the number of cases in which impersonation can cause harm (the number of security-critical decisions that require users to verify the identity of the site.) If this were reflected in the note, the goals and scope would be oodles more clear. For example, "security information" could be transformed into the much more descriptive "information used to authenticate the site".Received on Wednesday, 25 April 2007 14:37:17 GMT
