Do the files of USD reside on the devices? Do they need protection against hackers? What would be the consequences of being changed by a hacker? Automotive?

Hi @tshear50 ,  
Could you clarify whether you’re talking about the security of the USD data files, or the security of the USD software libraries? Are there any specific security provisions you’re interested in?
