Oh good. They made up an acronym, yet managed to find one of the ones already in the heaviest (computing) use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSP

Not only that but since they chose a super original and totally not cringeworthy recursive acronym the first letter could have been literally anything.

Ok in fairness it was probably originally something like Paul's Security Protocol and they felt that that wasn't professional enough or something.

Good sleuthing. What a weird name, I wonder where it came from. The nursery rhyme somehow?
Should the acronym not be 'PSPSP'? Or that sounds too much like luring a cat?
It should be exactly that for exactly that reason
