On a totally serious note to Joe's tongue in cheek posting.... Go to a
zoo(1).. and you'll hear stories of how each animal has natural
'protection' from their predators.
Each animal has evolved to ensure they have some level of camouflage in
the way of color/features etc so that when their predator targets them
they attempt to blend into the background. Some plants and animals
depend on other plants and animals to survive. There's a unique falcon
that will only nest in leftover "Weaver bird" nests.. they don't build
their own..but by moving into a Weaver bird area, they act as "bouncers"
at the door and keep out the predators that prey on the Weaver birds.
Given that "here's what nature does to protect itself".... what (if
anything) has the computing industry done to "camouflage" to reduce risk?
(call me wacko) but it seems to me that we do a lot of "football"ish
type of security models.. offensive moves and defensive moves. (Isn't
RODC a defensive move?) Do we and can we add lessons from nature into
future networks?
(1) Lessons learned from camping in a zoo...yes.. this high maintenance
female stayed in a tent in a zoo... if you are going to be without power
and electricity.... camping in a zoo at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal
Park's Roar and Snore is the way to do it.....

Joe's blog doesn't seem to say anything about what DSI actually *is*.
I'm not seeing it as a security model beyond my impression of it being
"Don't tell anyone what your security infrastructure looks like" or
something like that.
