Maybe you weren't histrionic enough?
I couldn't name one class of software or hardware, nor one layer in the 'stack' that hasn't been compromised. The only conclusion is to admit failure (as an industry) and rebuild everything from the ground up.
- ta988 5y agoWe always have to do compromises designing these things. Either we don't have the talents, we disagree on the methods, we ignored a chunk of the problem, we don't have the ressources, we deliberately degrade to please the senders of a letter-we-cant-talk-about... I prefer the approach where we solve problems incrementaly as we discover them because in the long term it addresses all of those shortcomings eventually.
- skynet-9000 5y agoI agree. There will always be an attacker who knows more or who used methods that you would not choose. It's inevitable that some things will leak. Defense in depth will help mitigate the risk and contain the fallout. (extreme paranoia, perhaps bred of experience, doesn't hurt either!)
