Hi Owen,

I am not saying that every electronic component will suddenly interconnected with the Internet by itself but if you just look at regular hardware that you can buy today (like an Arduino) then you will see that there are limitations and those force developers to select a subset of the features they normally have. So, you have to decide what you implement and there are consequences of doing so. For example, you may not have a certificate revocation built into these devices.

An example quote from an IETF mailing list discussion:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dtls-iot/current/msg00015.html

I hope you would have deduced by now that I am no expert in hardware and communications standards. A reason why I'm usually silent.

I'm not promising a new and universal security layer with Clique Space. What my idea does appear to be promising me is an infrastructure through which future (the future being a hypothetical time beyond that instant where Clique Space is accepted as being a medium capable of expressing individuals and modelling individual activity) hardware and algorithmic devices can plug into.

Clique Space does not try to patch problems in existing device security implementations. I think that the problems with existing devices are a symptom of the lack of a medium which Clique Space could provide. While some device manufactorers try to have a go at providing a very narrow mechanism, these manufacturers sometimes appear to do nothing better than to pepper their products with security flaws.

Owen.

Software developers certainly can be salaried and superannuated part-time from home. Make it so for this one.
