What's worse is that those policy usually means the product will have more defect and easier to attack.
I've heard of story where government standard explicitly demanded a lower key size of encryption, way below current industry standard, for 'secure' applications.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoThe same happens in medical devices. Changing to newer versions can be very expensive in terms of testing and documentation so you stick to old stuff which may not work well. It's a tricky balance. Switching to a newer compiler may fix your current problem but introduce a ton of other subtle problems. I often think that we create inferior solutions because it’s too hard to get newer methods approved. But then the newer methods may also cause problems.
