Bulldog & Strick
Bulldog
Strick, you always break things down into clauses, so what’s the simplest lock you can design that nobody can pick?
Strick
Clause one: the lock requires a single, non‑duplicable credential.
Clause two: that credential is delivered by a physical token or biometric.
Clause three: the lock reads it and opens only if it matches exactly.
In practice that’s a single‑bolt keyed‑tumbler with a proprietary chip, or a fingerprint reader—no pickers can replicate it.
Bulldog
Got it, that’s solid. Just keep the chip or scanner simple and test it on every user before you hand the keys out. No fiddler can cheat a clean read.
Strick
Acknowledged. I’ll add a tamper‑evident seal and a logging mechanism so any attempt to bypass the read is recorded. That covers the audit trail.
Bulldog
Looks good. Just make sure the logs themselves can’t be wiped. That’s all.
Strick
Logs will be written to a write‑once, tamper‑evident storage module, with redundancy across nodes so no single point can be erased. Done.
Bulldog
Nice work. Keep it tight. No room for slip.
