The password (what we remember) as secret credential is absolutely necessary for our digital societal life; it could be compared to the stones and clubs that ancient ancestors relied upon for collective survival for food and against predators.
Few people like to rely on the conventional password when solid digital…

We wouldn’t be surprise if some biometrics guys, who made quick money from the sales of security-lowering biometrics solutions or from such misleading promises by incorrectly touting them as security-increasing tools and thus spreading a false…

“Removal of a password’ is ‘removal of an attack surface’. It should improve the defence in view of the password being vulnerable to theft and abuse.”
Should it be the case, ‘removal of physical tokens’ could be referred to as the removal of an attack surface that should improve the…
< For Upcoming World Ever More Dependent on Solid Digital Identity >
What is called ‘Digital Transformation’ would implode if it comes without solid identity assurance as its societal foundation.
People have been making a variety of experiments over the transitional age from the pre-digital era to the post-DX era…

While we don’t know whether or not the credentials have actually leaked in this case, we do know that users of conventional password managers cannot escape an anxiety that their…

All my comments posted on LinkedIn this year are collected here. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/archive-202-1-comments-posted-since-january-2021-digital-kokumai/
The issues taken up are mostly
1. benefits of making use of our own episodic memory as secret credentials and seeds of cryptographic keys
2. catastrophic damages caused by removing secret credentials from digital identity on security and democracy
3. negative security effects of biometrics misused in cyber space
The first post of 2021 was “Do what you can’t do and you will be safe”
We have long talked the merits of making use of our own episodic memory as a seed of secret credentials for solid identity assurance, At the end of the year, I would like to summarise and present them as follows.
- liberating us from the burden of struggling to remember…
The misperceived ‘passwordless’ authentication is really a bane of identity security.
It’s a pity that a very large part of the global population remains unwittingly exposed to the peril of password-removed digital identity at the end of 2021; 20 years have passed since we started to sound the alarm.
We…
