Re: A new way of looking at a problem,

Also, a token could be issued by the company to validate their authenticity, this would be stored on the customer's browser or computer to ensure they are working with the right organization. This ensures the data is sent to the right company, even if it was not, the domain providers could provide a pop-up to the user stating that this could be a nefarious or ill-advised action, do you want to proceed or not.

One of the other options I mentioned below (from the quote in our earlier discussion) would be to add a token to the site, this would allow the browser to determine if the site was valid by using a SHA256 hash, site descriptor, and purpose all built into this number. This could be used to ensure the site is not a compromised site or if it is a site they have visited before, the browser would determine that much in the same way we use certificates. 

For me, I go to a few sites on a regular for personal and business purposes. There are others but this would help to address the security issue, not all but at least some aspects). Also, we need to start migrating the DNS environment to specifically use DNSSEC and move away from IPv4. This would be much harder for hackers to penetrate defenses because we would secure DNS traffic, reduce MITM attacks, create truly secure connections using IPSec VPN AES256 connections (all built into the protocol - IPv6). We can start identifying where the attack derived from (1-to-1 connections using IPv6) and the token would help to validate the site with the help of ML (I wanted to reiterate the point listed below because ML was only one of the points brought up in the beginning phases of the discussion).



Tokenization is the future of business and personal transactions. Blockchain is looking into that as well.
