Slippery When Wet: A Dirty Little Pigment story at LASCON 2014

11/4/2016

 
Abstract

How can it be that digital signatures aren't commonplace in our everyday lives? From timesheets to transactions, we still haven't come around to rely on digital identity. Why would we? From the point of view of the security professional, there are still risks, right? So if a lack of security is the reason, why is it still acceptable to use a faxed representation of a person's signature instead? All or nothing isn't good enough. Many say this model is so broken, so why is wet ink preferred when it offers less security? It all boils down to trust.
