• Level 2 Specification - Defence Version 0.1

  The Antheos Level 2 Specification - Defence, in draft. A bus that runs admission keeps out every device that has not been admitted, by a proof on each frame. On any bus, a device that sees a sign of attack names it and tells it by every channel it has: to the bus, to the party it reports to, and by its own lights and sounds. Nothing in Level 1 or the Security Layer changes.

  This specification is a draft. It may change in ways that break compatibility, and no implementation of it is published at present.
