via the ACM SigArch blog comes Tilman Wolf, D.Sc. (the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Massachusetts - Amherst) comes this well-cogitated screed targeting (in reality - theorizing) what some may define as the 'troublesome intersection' of Information Security and Interoperability. Certainly a fundamental junction in my estimation, and likely the cause of much of our woes, at least, when those woes are information security woes... Today's Must Read.
