You may be familiar with the “two-man rule” from the movies. Used as a control mechanism for critical actions like launching a nuclear weapon, the two-man rule requires two authorized individuals to independently initiate the action, such as by simultaneously turning keys in two separate locks within a control center. This creates an extremely difficult set of hurdles for would-be attackers, as multiple layers of protection must be overcome, requiring collaboration and coordination between two separate individuals, both of whom need simultaneous access to the physical system being attacked.
