Some way to make spoofing harder. Complete cryptographic authentication and filtering of every packet is probably technically unfeasible even now. But certainly we can think of other "soft" measures.
- ithkuil 5y agoCould that backfire? I mean, if something becomes harder to pull off, but still not hard enough to block bad actors from doing it, wouldn't we end up in a situation where strong authentication is perceived as not being "that important" because "what are the odds that somebody is spoofing the packets?"
- rini17 5y agoWouldn't that be still better than current situation where you can't run any public service anymore without DDoS protection? The attackers have it too easy. I don't see how would that preclude strong authentication. We would need TLS all the same.
