Keynote – Complexity Kills – Why Adding Layers of Security Doesn’t Solve Much
summary
Ben Stock examines how incremental security additions to long-lived technologies such as email and the Web (for example transport encryption and browser security features) often benefit only a small subset of operators and instead cause confusion about threat models and mechanisms. He pinpoints key problems in current email and Web ecosystem defenses and argues that layering more security without addressing usability and conceptual issues fails to meaningfully improve overall security.
