  12. Sorry Paul, trusted path as in the orange book relies upon a trusted
  13. terminal.  It does not protect against the kind of attack descirbed.
  14. Defense against that attack requires rue peer-to-peer authentication
  15. that is independent of the terminal and resistant to playbacks.
  16.  
  17. Regards, Bill
