A verifier cannot be tricked into accepting data whose checksum have not been publicly logged unless the attacker controls more than a threshold of witnesses. -In a less ideal world sigsum logging can facilitate detection of attacks if a -verifier _fails open_ by enforcing the second and third criteria partially. For -example, some verifier may not enforce these criteria at all, and so would -accept data from a malicious data mirror without proofs of public logging. -Someone in a similar area may be able to detect this and report the attack. - -Another example of partial enforcement would be if a verifier required logging -in a known log without witnessing. Attacks against the signer's signing and -release infrastructure would be detected if the log is not compromised. - #### 3.2.6 - Monitoring An often overlooked step is that transparency logging falls short if no-one keeps track of what appears in the public logs.
