Google Makes Public Their Open-Source PSP Security Protocol

[skeevy420]

I'm more annoyed about how the name says absolutely nothing about what the thing even is beyond "it's a security protocol".

I can't help but read that in the Ralph Wiggum voice. I assume that Google assumes that we'll assume that because it's from Google it should be good.

I still prefer my Poppy Security Protocol.



STUFT. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words but you only need the one.

Nice click-bait...

Guess PSP means 3 things now:
- Platform Security Processor
- PSP Security Protocol
- PlayStation Portable

Only one of them has a screen.

You forgot PodSecurityPolicy (a kubernetes pod security profile)

Are you freaking kidding me? P stands for PSP and SP stands for Security Protocol so the full name is PSP Security Protocol.

I need to get me some money from the ATM Teller Machine to buy a CPU Processing Unit from the AMD Micro Devices. Later tonight I'm gonna watch me a movie offa this here DVD Video Disk, boy howdy.

Except GNU actually tells you what it is in historical context. It's the GNU project's software environment that's not UNIX (all caps back then). PSP in this case is so generic as to being useless even in the software security field. No one is going to associate "PSP" with Google even if it's "Google PSP". They'll automatically think AMD or Sony firmware rewrites from Google under license.

...and it was apparently already a tradition by the time "GNU's Not Unix" was chosen.

It's a long list. They included the 6502 Push Stack Pointer instruction but missed the PIC microcontroller's Parallel Slave Port.
