Who's Who on the Web? -- WHO KNOWS !?!



On the Web, nobody knows you're a dog

These days, the Web is basically a Free-For-All

  • Client identity is usually unknown

  • Server identity is not proven

  • Authorship and Document Integrity is not verifiable

and thus,

  • Client anonymity is easy

  • Access control is not easy

  • Document forgery and server impersonation is not hard


And of course, eavesdropping is easy

==> So most all documents are "public"
