Gentlepeople,
While reading some of the messages on this list I started wondering if
we're taking security into consideration while designing and are going to
implement it from the start. One of the issues with webservices is (was?)
the lack of standardized authentication/security, resulting in a delayed
acceptance of webservices if one may believe the trade press.
As we're designing software that can be use to control all kinds of
equipment I would feel better if Joe Average Hacker would not be able to
override the controls... (hmmm, just imagine some ignorant user starting
the 'life wire' mode of Teds wiring tool and starting to switch random
devices on and off)
Regards,
Jac
