One can hope: An eternal optimist asks Enterprise Vendors to pave the way for two-factor authentication.

I would think that this kind of research would be applicable to Information Security:

I really enjoyed a recent 'manifesto' from the ChangeThis site recently by Phil Rosenzweig called Forget Formulas . In it he points out the flaws in many management books that purport to find a formula for success based on a large quantity of mainly anecdotal evidence. The data is suspect because of the 'halo effect' (also the title of Rosenzweig's book):
The key weakness is the halo effect, a concept that was first identified by psychologist Edward Thorndike in 1920. It refers to the basic human tendency to make specific inferences on the basis of an overall impression. People tend to have an overall evaluation about someone or something, and let that evaluation shape specific features. the halo effect is found in many walks of life, including the way we evaluate job candidates—the graduate from a well-respected school tends to look good across the boards, while a graduate from an unheralded local school tends to look less attractive. Brand building, too, is based on the halo effect—companies know that consumers will attribute favorable qualities to a product from a respected company, and therefore go to great lengths to create positive associations with their brand.

From the Register:
A US defence department advisory board has warned of the danger that American war robots scheduled for delivery within a decade might be riddled with malicious code. The kill machines will use software largely written overseas, and it is feared that sinister forces might meddle with it in production, thus gaining control of the future mechanoid military.
