Carrying on the tradition of naming software via puns, I'll lay down some thoughts here about software for, among other things, answering the question:
- When should we run program X deisolated?
Background
<trac>5657</trac> asked for a way to automatically update Terminal that is not subject to spoofing.
One natural approach this is activity signing. However, as experience with X.509 has shown, the devil is truly in the details.
To date, we have seen several attempts to discover appropriate details:
- questions on activity signing and update thread
- activity semantics conversation
- runtime build customization thread and <trac>6432</trac>
- user-created activities and updates thread
- horizontal distribution thread
- homunq's ideas on bundles and updates
Consequently, here's an attempt at details.
