Secure software can be written in C or C++ (they are two different languages BTW). For example, OpenBSD and OpenSSH. Both are written in C and both have very good security records.

      Any secure remote access software is the most secure, except when it isn't. This is a tautology, doesn't reveal any deep insight.
