Security or convenience: Does it have to be a choice? | TechRepublic

Security or convenience: Does it have to be a choice? | TechRepublic

Parno's thesis "Trust Extension as a Mechanism for Secure Code Execution on Commodity Computers "is that we can make security more convenient by leveraging the security possessions we have - the Trusted Computing Module in my thinkpad, the new Flicker architecture in the latest x86 architecture, a USB keyfob.
We specifically ask for elevations of security when we need it, not the all-in-one approach of logging in.
Finally, remote execution via Yao’s Garbled Circuits and homomorphic encryption.

nice thesis
