PLC Threat-modeling & Auditability
I’ve been meaning to break in my leaflet for awhile but haven’t gotten to it! Thanks to Phil (@bad-example.com) for voicing some concerns about the current work that we’re doing on PLC to support mirroring. It gave me a good reason to write up my thoughts on the technical improvements we have planned for PLC & to invite feedback/discussion from folks that are interested.
