Two important messages made recently the round.
One message was spread one week before the RSA Conference in San Francisco was opened. Namely NSA chief Michael Rogers announced:
“I don’t want a back door. I want a front door. And I want the front door to have multiple locks. Big locks.”
The second spread during the opening key note of the RSA Conference when the new RSA President Amit Yoran introduced himself with the words:
“It is time for a renewed sense of exploration, awareness, and understanding. It’s time for security to escape the Dark Ages and pursue our own Age of Enlightenment.” „Strong authentication, and analyzing who is accessing what, can identify attack campaigns earlier in the kill chain“.
Both messages express the conviction that a paradigm shift in Information Security is needed especially in terms of authentication.
