‘The trinity of IRA security explained’.

I expected a detailed piece on Knee-Capping, Intimidation and Bombing...

Which I could follow up with a query for the I.T. angle...

In my defence, Paris would have been confused, too.

The trinity of RIA security can best be summed up as:

Zip, Nada, Zilch.

We've known this ever since Active-X was first deployed. Here's Microsoft's "First immutable law of computer security":

"Law #1: If a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer, it's not your computer anymore."

Here's DaveK's corollorary to the first immutable law of computer security:

> If you let remote websites execute code on your computer, it's not your computer any more.

When combined with DaveK's axiom of rich internet application security:

> Microsoft invented Active-X /so/ that remote websites can execute code on your computer.

It leads us to DaveK's syllogisms of computer security:

>1. If you let Microsoft execute code on your computer, it's not your computer any more.

>2. Microsoft are the "bad guys".
