You'd think so, but I've met many smart people with computer science degrees who think nothing of attempting to design a secure system (I work for a major Swiss [read: security level "paranoid"] Investment Bank on client facing web sites) when it's patently obvious they know nothing about cryptography or the fundamentals of secure system design :( There are those who will admit to not knowing anything about security (yay!) and take advice, but sadly there are far too many who will "have a go" or leave the issue of security until the end of the design by which time it's usually too late to fix... :) Maybe the 802.11 WEP commitee were similarly arrogant? -- Milhouse ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Milhouse's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=928 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24049 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
