> Dataflows created by the ListenHTTP processor lack a "source IP attribute". Source DNs are great but they do not prove data provenance in isolation (after all one could copy an unprotected x509 certificate and submit from a separate machine).
> Ideally data provenance should include both the source DN (if available) and the source IP. Not perfect (as the IP could still be spoofed / MiTM/ etc) but better than relying on certificates only.
