Horcruxes are similar to what emmanueloga_ has mentioned. Horcruxes were special things in which Harry Potter's lead antagonist, Voldemort stored parts of his 'soul', so that even if he died, someone cpuld revive him using the horcruxes. I haven't kept up with Harry Potter for a year now, so I might be wrong with respect to the exact definition.

A horcrux is a plot device where the protagonists need 2fa to send a HUP or TERM to the misbehaving process.

Okay, I didn't literally LOL, but you did earn a really big grin and even a chortle. Well done.

BTW, I would totally read "Harry Potter and the Protocols of Security". Some of the "Methods of Rationality" fan fiction by Eliezer Yudkowsky nods in that direction (eg. the Death Eaters' opsec).
