"It’s tempting to believe that there is some sort of intellectual barrier between you and the powerful — that the confusing and obtuse way that they speak is the sound of genius, rather than somebody who has learned a lot of smart-sounding words without ever learning what they mean."

dreamed i acquired a small station wagon of vaguely european style, but with a chrysler badge.
it had a plush royal blue velour interior and bianchi Celeste paint.

it was an automatic, but had a funny little floor shifter in case you wanted to do it that way.

today i read NIST SPECIAL PUBLICATION 1800-35. https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.1800-35.pdf
Its about 40 pages of text, with lots of outbound links to references, appendices, and such. The authors built, described, and evaluated several reference architectures and deployment models. They discussed the foundations needed for each and some of the challenges each might introduce. I think it is a valuable work.

without venturing into an opinion on any of the example deployments, products involved, or zero trust generally- the remarkable thing here is that i read the whole damned thing. top to bottom, including linked references where appropriate. i took notes ffs.

that feels like an accomplishment all by itself.
