Has there ever been a security problem that has been solved? Murder, burglary: those problems have been around for thousands of years. The fact that someone could even ask if computer security is a solvable problem demonstrates our fetish with technology.

Of course computer security is not a solvable problem. It’s a people problem; people problems have been around since people evolved from lower primates, and they’ll be around until we evolve into some other life form.
