Security ceremonies still fail despite decades of efforts by researchers and practitioners. Attacks are often a cunning amalgam of exploits for technical systems and of forms of human behaviour. For example, this is the case with the recent news headline of a large-scale attack against Electrum Bitcoin wallets, which manages to spread a malicious update of the wallet app. The author therefore sets out to look at things through a different lens.,The author makes the (metaphorical) hypothesis that humans arrived on Earth along with security ceremonies from a very far planet, the Cybersecurity planet. The author’s hypothesis continues, in that studying (by huge telescopes) the surface of Cybersecurity in combination with the logical projection on that surface of what happens on Earth is beneficial for us earthlings.,The author has spotted four cities so far on the remote planet. Democratic City features security ceremonies that allow humans to follow personal paths of practice and, for example, make errors or be driven by emotions. By contrast, security ceremonies in Dictatorial City compel to comply, hence humans here behave like programmed automata. Security ceremonies in Beautiful City are so beautiful that humans just love to follow them precisely. Invisible City has security ceremonies that are not perceivable, hence humans feel like they never encounter any. Incidentally, the words “democratic” and “dictatorial” are used without any political connotation.,A key argument the author shall develop is that all cities but Democratic City address the human factor, albeit in different ways. In the light of these findings, the author will also discuss security ceremonies of our planet, such as WhatsApp Web login and flight boarding, and explore room for improving them based upon the current understanding of Cybersecurity.

出去探索网络安全星球

尽管研究人员和从业人员经过数十年的努力，安全性仪式仍然失败。攻击通常是技术系统利用和人类行为形式的诡计。例如，最近的新闻头条就是针对Electrum比特币钱包的大规模攻击，这种情况设法传播了钱包应用程序的恶意更新。因此，作者着手从不同的角度看待事物。作者提出了（隐喻性的）假设，即人类与来自遥远的网络安全星球的安全仪式一起到达地球。作者的假设继续存在，即通过巨大的望远镜研究网络安全的表面，并结合地球表面发生的逻辑投影对我们地球人都是有益的，到目前为止，作者已经发现了偏远星球上的四个城市。民主城市设有安全仪式，可让人们遵循自己的做法，例如犯错误或被情绪所驱使。相比之下，独裁城市的安全仪式必须遵守，因此这里的人们的行为就像编程的自动机一样。美丽城市的安全仪式是如此美丽，以至于人们只是喜欢精确地遵循它们。看不见的城市有无法感知的安全仪式，因此人类感觉就像他们从未遇到过。顺便提一句，“民主”和“独裁”一词的使用没有任何政治含义。作者应发展的一个主要论据是，除民主城市外，所有城市都以不同的方式处理人为因素。根据这些发现，
