How much is public? how much is secret? who keeps what secrets? Is the user a custodian of his own secrets? Or does he have to delegate his knowledge to the company of one thousand employees in order to reap the benefits of shared secrecy? How many distinct entities can he delegate authority to before the secret is out and j.random.hacker can feed him virii again? How much is shrouded in tamper-resistant packaging? What stops someone from deploying an emulator which, given the CPU keys to machine A and machine B allows A to run B's programs? What stops someone from deploying an emulator which, given the CPU keys to machine A, allows A to run programs written in some "universal" code. Given the CPU keys to machine A, what stops someone from disassembling A's code into universal code? If universal code becomes popular, what about universal virii? What stops someone from deploying a registry of CPU codes that makes software swapping trivial? What stops someone from discovering the unique key to a machine by examination of the machine? What stops one from discovering the unique key to a machine by examination of its software? What assurances do you have that the instruction set of machine A is Turing complete? Is it just a permuted instruction set? Or is it random microcode where 99.9% (and maybe 100.0%) of all instructions do nothing useful?
