it is an impossiblity in all practical senses. This is the entire premise of Chromium. Knowing that there will always be bugs but designing the system so they are unlikely to be able to do bad things.
there's two points there
acknowledging it's impossible to have zero bugs ... and ... acknowledging that there will be exploits.
sure you can do better than average but "completely secure" is a myth
as for DoD there's this from 3 days ago

- ethbro 8y agoIt's only impossible when you look at rapidly developing, easy to use systems. Which is my point and why the broad assertion is wrong. Look at a VxWorks type OS. Or OpenBSD. Limited capability and compatibility, very strong security guarantees. "Completely secure" isn't a mythical unicorn. It just costs time and money. A LOT of time and money.
