“So much of our infrastructure has been put on the internet under the fragile assumption that the device's authentication front end is flawless. Unfortunately, now more than ever, flawless is what it needs to be. Yet we keep encountering example after example of readily bypassable mistakes in authentication. Authentication is hard. Apparently, it's impossibly hard.”

…systems, including systems in France. So this is the sort of story with the, as I said before, with the wide coverage that it received that will, let's hope, work to get other internet-connected device makers to re-examine their security or take their security more seriously or buy some compute from OpenAI. Fuck it if you have to to check the security of your devices before the bad guys do. So much of our infrastructure has been put on the internet under the fragile assumption that the device's authentication front end is flawless. Unfortunately, now more than ever, flawless is what it needs to be. Yet we keep encountering example after example of readily bypassable mistakes in authentication. Authentication is hard. Apparently, it's impossibly hard. And in fact, that's what today's main topic will be about. And as I said, it is a doozy, which we will get to shortly. First, Leo, we're going to take a break and then look at feedback from our listeners.
