...produce a range of different effects At the lowest setting, most of the output would be light -- a dazzling warning that would be impossible to miss. A higher setting would produce intense heat, creating a "discomfort zone" to drive off intruders. The third setting produces a nonlethal blast, like the concussion stun grenades used by Special...

...produce ID will not be allowed to fly. If a passenger just forgot or doesn't have ID as long as they are cooperative, they can still fly with the usual extra searches and so forth. Now maybe on its face, that sounds OK, but lets think about it. Who is really going to be subject to this Do you think a real life terrorist is going to say that...

...produce information that is relevant to the cause for action is nowhere as comprehensive as the obligation attached to discovery in common law There is an important difference between criminal and civil litigation, irrespective of a country's legal system.

...produce a reliable auditable record, then all you have is a fait accompli fraud-blessing device. Thats the short version of the security argument Im willing to go along with NIST that, as of today, all-electronic systems are an important research topic, not a settled present alternative The approach to software-independence used in op scan is...

Wrapping up Threat Modeling

...produce a threat modeling document. In our particular case, Im not sure its easily avoided We ask people to analyze their designs (as part of the SDL). To do that, they diagram the design, then have a threat modeling meeting in which someone runs the codename tool to produce a threat modeling document In fact, Ive worked hard to reduce jargon...

...produce an insecure product, but the primary driver for a product team is to produce a valuable, useful product . Yes, security is a big part of that, but security is not a goal in and of itself. For example, one of the areas of fierce competition in enterprise database products is performance, and we have to balance security with...

...produce more information and a better result than the many failed all-at-once attempts for deployment. My current line on this is that Wi-Fi's likely utility in a city is in site-specific, limited area networks designed to solve particular problems. Call it reverse redlining or bridging the digital divide or simply gapfilling, but Wi-Fi could...
