I agree with all the above, including deleted.


The solution is to let the HCI people into the design process, something that's very rarely, if ever, done in the security field [0].


To jump up and down ... if that was the solution, it would have been done by now :)

I would instead state that the solution was whatever Skype and SSH did. And the opposite of whatever IPSec, SSL, Clipper, S/MIME, DRM, and all the other failures did.

HCI was one of the things, but others were as important: lack of open critique, service-before-security, crypto-for-free, total solution, narrow problem, etc.
