I wasn't suggesting it was. It is just my experience that whenever I
discuss some security protocol development in the wider context there is
always some smart ass who wants to talk about end-point security rather
than the thing the presentation is actually about.

specialists because they can always find a Ford Cortina with its doors
unlocked and the keys in the ignition.
