I hope you understand that with security there are a lot of tradeoffs.
There is no free lunch with security.
We are trying to balance the perceived security advantages to the costs.
When I worked on other security protocols I had to look at this tradeoff
quite often. At the beginning I often noticed that people get excited
when developing new security mechanisms but there is also a downside.
Ciao
