The Internet and email is old at this point.
It can be reasonably argued that email links are a significant threat vector right now.
So far, we just keep trying to sandbox links or scan attachments, but it's still not stopping the threat.
My questions for comment:
- Would removing anonymity from email reduce or remove this threat? If business blocked all uncertified email senders, would this threat be gone?
- Why can't we do PKI well after a few decades?
- Does anyone believe PKI could apply to individuals? In the context of identity for email, accounts, etc?
I see services like id.me and others and wonder why we can't get digital identity right and if we could, would it eliminate some of the major threats?
