We introduced the Resurrecting Duckling security policy model to address this problem. Master-slave relationships, however, do not exhaust the range of interesting interactions. We therefore extend the Duckling model to also cover relationships between peers. 1 The Duckling: why, what, and what's missing The range of devices that contain a microprocessor is continually expanding in every field -- from consumer goods to office equipment, "white goods", vehicles and medical and scientific instrumentation. Looking ahead, the next development after endowing every device with a processor is going to be to allow all these computing nodes to communicate with each other, enabling them to co-operate and take advantage of each other's services.
