Suppose you live in a country that has adopted a planned economy. The transfer of production data and consumption data from various workers' enterprises (factories, offices, stores, etc.) to a central planning office is necessary for the planned economy to function. These data transfers must be kept secure against threats such as sabotage form imperialist countries. How would you design your society's OGAS to be resilient to attacks? The goal is to prevent the transfer of malicious/false economic data from the worker's enterprises to the central planning office and vice versa.
For the sake of this exercise, assume that there is only 1 central planning office and that all enterprises report to this central office. Also assume that there are around 10 million enterprises making reports to the planning office. Don't worry about keeping the physical infrastructure safe, the NKVD has it covered.
>>16257Consider you have a general store where you can turn in your labour credits for provisions. How does the store report the inventory gained and the inventory "sold"
not really sold since customers use labour credits during its day-to-day operations to the planning office? How often should the store report this data? What steps can be taken to ensure the reports are accurate?
>>16259I get that you're pretending to be smart here, but you've obviously not engaged with the literature because this is literally just adding a noisy signal to the support for a transport plan in the standard monge-kantorovich problem
there's a specialized variation of the algorithm that deals with input noise, you're not getting some gotcha out of this just showing you don't read any of the operations research literatiure
>>16265There's quite a gulf between linear algebra and it's application in economic planning.
>>16266It was not my intention to discuss political economy in this thread and I don't believe my OP was making any prescriptions on political economy. I wanted to discuss the security of OGAS from a software system perspective, hence why this thread is posted in tech and not in edu.
>>16247Computer network can be secure enough that it takes extraordinary determination to breach them.
That limits the mount of malicious interference to the point where you set up enough booby-traps and honeypots to catch all the hackers and make them work for the people's IT service.

> There's quite a gulf between linear algebra and it's application in economic planning.In fact there is not, almost all modern production planning is based either directly or indirectly on linear algebra, and the only mathematically significant variations other than knapsack type stuff are what's called "optimal transport" problems (aka the monge-kantorovich problems, after the soviet economic planner leonid kantorovich)
the "gulf" is relatively small and anyone with a cursory background in industrial engineering will say as much.
it's mostly pointless imo to ask about security questions because they usually require an implementation or context, which is not and may never exist. The optimization problems can clearly be discussed in the abstract as mathematical entities, but that's clearly not the case for security questions so it's pretty pointless to ask
>>16271Actually existing computer networks that have really good security are pretty rare. Most IT security experts think our IT infrastructure has terrible security in general.
For good security you need audited open source and a "no insecure configuration option paradigm".
>>16380How about we keep pirating vidya without needing to transpile it every time, since this does nothing but weakly enforce open source.
Certainly a good thing, but one of the essences of the freedom of software includes freedom of distribution, so maybe not limit consumer side, but enforce producer side…
>>16381>since this does nothing but weakly enforce open sourceEncrypting the chip architecture makes it much harder to put backdoors into hardware, and you can scale down microchip-fab security from ultra paranoid to regular paranoid. If you combine this with virtualization and make it so that the virt-host and virt-guest system run on processor cores with different hardware encryption keys , it will become next to impossible for malware to break through virtualization layers.
Security patching will also become more economical and faster when malware has to distribute it self as source-code, because the step of reverse engineering binaries can be omitted.
The only real downside to this is that each piece of software gets compiled billions of times, and that's wasting a lot of compute cycles, and energy for battery powered devices. Adding something like a hardware accelerator feature for compiling software is necessary.
Current Computer security designs are getting better at preventing weaknesses in memory allocation , so the next target is going to be weaknesses in software logic, and this architecture encryption might be good at mitigating that.
>>23068why did you bump this shit? how is this even a thread? is everyone here retarded?
only
>>16396 mentioned pki and tls and he got ignored. why does everyone here like writing and talking about shit they are completely uninformed about
wtf is this, it is embarrassing. mods please delete this thread
>>23069Blah, SSH and PKI are obvious for encrypting a computer network
Don't blame anons for trying to spin something interesting out of a boring prompt
