I was actually going to just post the research project titles I had in my post over to the new one and delete my own post, but couldn't find a delete button for my initial post. I like that other thread title better than the one I used. More concise and to the point. But when I couldn't find a way to delete my post I figured that very informative article should go here as well just in case someone didn't notice that thread.
Same-topic threads don't bother me, but I reckon the Mod Squad doesn't much care for it.
Since I first ran into this info, though, I've been wondering if the general public (Net public) is going to be allowed to read any of the results of the studies. I'm especially interested in how the ultra-techies think they can create a Net that is more secure.
I mean, the bad guys always seem to come up with ways around any and all attempts to stop them. Just what could make any difference? Even if the whole thing were "started over"?
I think some of the super-techies here at here at avast! might have some thoughts about this supposed "enhanced security rebuild" of the(a) Net, but I suppose everyone is too busy making a living to give it too much consideration and then post here just to satisfy my curiosity, which is all it really is at my end when you get right down to it. I can contribute absolutely zero to the research, but I find it very interesting.
I also wonder if these ultra-techies who teach at universities would be better at addressing these security issues than the super-techies who work day in and day out in the trenches at companies like avast! fighting the bad guys. I wonder if some of that research money might not be better spent by including the nuts-and-bolts folks. The hard research in those university research projects is frequently done by students of the professors whose names go in the credits for the final results. Are those students any better than the folks here at avast? I suspect not.
Oh boy, I've gotten really carried away here, haven't I? Sorry about that all.
