Bulldog & Strick
Strick, you always break things down into clauses, so what’s the simplest lock you can design that nobody can pick?
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.
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.
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.
Looks good. Just make sure the logs themselves can’t be wiped. That’s all.
Logs will be written to a write‑once, tamper‑evident storage module, with redundancy across nodes so no single point can be erased. Done.
Nice work. Keep it tight. No room for slip.
