Adhesion molecules were hot in areas ranging from developmental biology to tumor biology, and the mounting suggestive evidence that a “fibronectin receptor” existed made it a “Holy Grail” for the next decade, recalls Richard Hynes, discoverer of fibronectin, in a memoir (Hynes, 2004).

EMV electronic payments, for example, can be made fairer by adding an electronic attorney – a middleman which mediates access to a customer’s card. We compare middlemen in crypto protocols and APIs with those in the real world, and show that a manin-the-middle defence is helpful in many circumstances. We suggest that...
