Primes¶
- Capability Separation
- Because the same two failure modes — mechanism erosion and unintended issuance breadth — recur in every substrate, a practitioner who has learned to monitor mechanism strength and audit the issuer population in one domain carries those exact vigilances into the next.
This sourceStandard reference on issue/verify asymmetry, key rotation, revocation, and mechanism-erosion failure modes across cryptographic and physical security systems.

- Single Point of Failure
- And in security, a master key, a single root certificate authority, or a single admin account gives total access on compromise.
This sourceTreats master keys, root certificate authorities, and privileged accounts as concentration points whose compromise grants total access.
