About
By describing an inductive consideration of a highly local case study before reviewing it through broader security theory, we problematise the tendency of the state to focus on the security of technology at the expense of the security of the citizen.
We conclude that there are three main absences which need to be addressed for effective cybersecurity: consensus as to whose security is being addressed, evidence of equivalence between the mechanisms that control behaviour, and two-way legibility.
