Posted by: Bob at June 13, 2008 4:12 PM "no matter what you do to beef up security, it will not be enough" And yet... "That’s how crime or threats work, Schneier said, where there are always levels which are deemed acceptable." In other words, we know that nothing will be enough in an absolute sense, but we can determine a level and call it "acceptable". I agree. By the way, it seems that someone decided that your article was acceptable but did not do enough checking... "Schneider admits that none of the measures are foolproof." Yeah, just like spelling your name right. Posted by: Davi Ottenheimer at June 13, 2008 4:21 PM Hey I read you book, you're already popular Bruce Lee Schneier! Posted by: Reader at June 13, 2008 6:49 PM @Bob: I got that as well. Ctrl-Shift-R (cache-bypassing reload) seems to fix it. Posted by: Hairy Dude at June 13, 2008 8:17 PM What about POLA (principle of least authority/access) and object-capabilities (which combine designation and authorization into one thing: an unforgible reference)? Sure, those arent any magic or siver bullets but never the less they are an start of an solution of making computer security unintrusive and usable. http://www.eros-os.org/essays/capintro.html is an good intro to capabilities. Also see http://erights.org/ for more about this stuff. With hope of intersting dialogue. Posted by: Zarutian at June 13, 2008 8:46 PM Even accounting for the cultural difference, and the language difference, some of those quotes *still* don't sound like you, Bruce. How badly did they mangle your meaning? Posted by: Baylink at June 16, 2008 12:13 PM @Bruce Schneier From the article: Umm... I can't imagine this having come from you, Bruce. Surely, you'd be one to advocate transparent, full hard-drive encryption (like TrueCrypt or LUKS), right? Posted by: CipherChaos at June 17, 2008 2:03 PM @ CipherChaos The only thing I can think of is that was something I wrote years ago, when it was true.
