The Internet and email is old at this point.

It can be reasonably argued that email links are a significant threat vector right now.

So far, we just keep trying to sandbox links or scan attachments, but it’s still not stopping the threat.

My questions for comment:

• Would removing anonymity from email reduce or remove this threat? If business blocked all uncertified email senders, would this threat be gone?
• Why can’t we do PKI well after a few decades?
• Does anyone believe PKI could apply to individuals? In the context of identity for email, accounts, etc?

I see services like id.me and others and wonder why we can’t get digital identity right and if we could, would it eliminate some of the major threats?
