People often represent the weakest link in the security chain and are chronically responsible for the failure of security systems.

Given the credible estimate that we've spent $1 trillion on anti-terrorism security

The user's going to pick dancing pigs over security every time.

Anyone, from the most clueless amateur to the best cryptographer, can create an algorithm that he himself can't break.

It's certainly easier to implement bad security and make it illegal for anyone to notice than it is to implement good security.

History has taught us: never underestimate the amount of money, time, and effort someone will expend to thwart a security system. It's always better to assume the worst. Assume your adversaries are better than they are. Assume science and technology will soon be able to do things they cannot yet. Give yourself a margin for error. Give yourself more security than you need today. When the unexpected happens, you'll be glad you did.

Privacy is a fundamental human need.
