Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency and your right to cyber (security)

[Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf () coredump cx>]

This is probably somewhat interesting; a prominent quote from this
paper, dissing security certifications, is making rounds for a while -
but the rest of the paper is actually pretty scary:

In essence, looks like the commission is simultaneously trying to
criticize the current regime of security certifications (probably
rightly so), and - very bizarrely - use this as an argument for
proposing a federally administered certification program (with
aspirations to become a professional accreditation scheme). Lots of
analogies to doctors and self-contradictory arguments are being made.

Some of the more interesting snippets and my snarky remarks are here:
