I’ve been involved in some security related discussions at work over the past few days. Whenever I spend more that about 30 mins thinking about it, my head gets near popping. It’s so difficult to make any kind of concrete statement with confidence. The basis of solid security would seem to be solid design which makes it easier to make concrete statements… but even then, you’d have to have confidence that the design got implemented correctly.
About
I’m David Illsley, I work in Web Services development at IBM Hursley, which involves work on the Apache WS Project, where I am a committer and PMC member. When not working with technology, I spend a lot of time on the backstage aspects of theatre, and a sadly decreasing amount of time reading.
