Can't speak for Christian, I'm just here trying to counterbalance all the "ZOMG it needs to be More Secure" - quite often that's a knee-jerk response that hasn't been very well thought out.. > do you really believe the things you are saying? Yes, I believe that security is about trade-offs, and that often security measures end up costing more to implement than they're actually worth. It's one thing to wave your hands and cook up a security scheme that *sounds* good - it's another entirely to look at it with 30 years of experience of "what's actually *deployable*". > you seem to be just generally negative, jumping from point to point and being > very silly. Devil's Advocate - a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. It's been said that if you can't come up with 3 or 4 major flaws in a proposal you make, you haven't thought it through enough. Since a lot of people here don't seem to do it for themselves, somebody else has to.
