I’d take it a step further. If a technology is impossible to secure it shouldn’t be used. Maybe it’s time to rethink all the parts of our lives we’ve handed over to software.


What current technologies do you believe are possible to secure?

I am sympathetic to the overall sentiment here, but between any web browser + server stack you are looking at hundreds of millions of lines of code written in unsafe languages.

Add on the human factor and there is just no hope of really securing this.


sel4, tweetnacl on an avr, pdf/a, html3, gzip, lwip, etc., running on purpose-built hardware. too bad it's not self-hosting yet
