The Integrity Revolution

Integrity or Impersonation, Choose

In 2001 the fix was proposed; in 2006 the definition of true MFA made the lie plain, yet the industry chose convenience over presence. These books show the proof and the path forward: use identification to prove identity.

The Big Idea

3 seconds:
Use identification to prove identity.
30 seconds:
Today’s “security” lets anyone impersonate you.
Existence binds access to your living presence and ends the session the instant you leave.
Fraud collapses.
3 minutes:
  • The Paradox: the industry admits breach is inevitable, then sells mitigation as “security.”
  • The Definition: true MFA means different factor types; doubling passwords isn’t MFA.
  • The Decision: require identification for any action; start from the person, not the data.
  • The Test: the six-pack test: if you need an ID to buy beer, you should need an ID to move money.

About Christopher Murphy

Christopher Murphy headshot

Christopher Murphy writes and builds for a single aim: end impersonation in the digital world. Over more than twenty-five years in identity, payments, and network security, he watched “security” drift toward data-only access that anyone could imitate. His work argues for the opposite, presence-first systems that begin with you, require identification to prove identity, and collapse the session the instant you leave.

Murphy is the author of The Cybersecurity Paradox, The Integrity Revolution, and the forthcoming The Endpoint Is You, along with two Apress pocket guides: Quantum Security, Digital Deception, and the Integrity Banking whitepaper. The Integrity Revolution series is his modern Common Sense: plain language, primary standards, and one uncompromising test; integrity or impersonation.
