Hi Serialst,

As I was having a very informed and interesting talk with several
colleagues the other day it came up in the conversation regarding
fulltext access control that a secure access standardization was
something that everyone in the room could benefit from. Literally
everyone stands to profit, providers and users, fantastic.

1. Requirements for 2 click methodology control, the end user should
ideally be asked to click through 2x for content.

2. Comparative studies between 2 methods should determine the choice of
one over the other.

3. DNS authentication protocol should be explored as a protocol as it
provides an easily mitigated and secure solution to security.  The
security problem is solved so that lay people can administrate on the
front end and that IT can support on the back end.

The point is that this is the best of both worlds as I understand it,
because the double door of security provides the access security
redundancy needed for control.  Picture this it is as if at a convention
all the invited guest pass through many entrances, meaning distance
access, and authentication by server recognition lets them access to
content.

This division on security is much like a buffet line that one can join
at any point in place and time.

I am tossing this out as I pondered the problem of the learning curve
for paraprofessionals trying to administrate and navigate the ip
protocol model which due to key stroke entry is really fraught with
error laden potential.
When I became aware that there was another model for authentication I
became very interested as the implementation of the DNS was so much
simpler.

Please comment...need third party opinion to establish theory

Blessings,

Irma
