What are the security considerations in the following scenario?:
Suppose I have two MC apps running on different machines, and they
communicate with each other showing a listing of files each machine has
designated specifically for sharing (much like Napster, GNUtella clients,
etc.).
In this scenaro, what special risks would someone be taking in having a
MetaCard client sharing a designated folder to other MetaCard clients using
the same custom protocol?
Given that ultimately everything is hackable, what specific standards
constitute various levels of security? Or at least, a level of security
business people (not hospitals and other critical-systems) find acceptable?
Most importantly, can we satisfy those requirements with MetaCard?
