Security Trait Standards for Clarity: Access Control, Pausable Contracts & More

I did a quick ChatGPT on your latest proposal + @friedger Identicon for Contracts proposal.

They appear to be complimentary of each other.

“So they complement each other:

  • Security registry = machine-verifiable security assurance (credentials/trust).

  • Identicon = human-recognizable visual reference (UX trust).”

:light_bulb: Which Is Better — Combined or Separate?

Better together.

Separately:*

  • Identicon → visual only (no proof of security)

  • Security registry → machine trust but no UX cue

Together:

  • Visual cues + cryptographically verifiable security

  • Stronger protection against both accidental clicks and malicious copycats

  • Better onboarding and safer UX for end users

This pairing is similar to how modern browsers show:

  • a favicon + HTTPS lock icon → quick visual trust + cryptographic identity

How They Could Be Integrated:

  1. Use the same hash source

  2. Wallet UI / Explorer Flow

  3. Security + UX SIP

You could eventually fold both into a single SIP or companion SIPs

What do you think @Terese and @friedger ?
