what is the full cost of hacking today ?
not just the loss of cash and merchandise: there is also the loss of labor employed in attempting ineffective defenses. defenses which can never be effective because they fail to address the root of the problem: insecure operating software and compromised symmetric identifications
a secure operating system will not allow itself to be compromised by the activity of an application program . that is the starting point as it is critical to portecting the security software needed for authenticating and protecting documents and transactions .
it is probably necessary to design and deploy a KEK -- key encryption key device
the KEK would carry a copy of GnuPG or PGP plus the related keyrings. it must be a single purpose device so that updates can be stictly controlled -- not like a "smart" phone .
the KEK is an identification carrier and as such would need to be maintained by facilities that are currently responsible for validating identifications: Credit Unions, DMV, County Clerk, Notaries and such .
the KEK could then be used to authenticate and protect form 1040.
symmetric ID such as traditional name, address, DoB, SSN, phone number, mother's maiden name, e/mail are known as "PII" -- and are hopelessly compromised.
