I’m off for the New Security Paradigms Workshop in Oxford, where I will present what I currently call the Swiss Cheese security policy model. My idea is to model security mechanisms as classifiers, and security problems in a separate world model as classification problems. In such a model we can (hopefully) analyze how well a mechanism or a combination of mechanisms solves the actual problem. NSPW is my first test-driving of the general idea. If it survives the workshop I’m going to work out the details. My paper isn’t available yet; final versions of NSPW papers are to be submitted a few weeks after the workshop.
