Physical Security Maxims
Heh -- great powerpoint presentation on some of the more egregious 'security' maxims out there. From
Roger G. Johnston at Argonne National Labs - hat tip to
Bruce Schneier for the link.
Three examples:
Ignorance is Bliss Maxim: The confidence that people have in security is inversely proportional to how much they know about it.
Schneier�s Maxim #1: The more excited people are about a given security technology, the less they understand (1) that technology and (2) their own security problems.
Voltaire�s Maxim: The problem with common sense is that it is not all that common.
Lot's more at the site. It is easy to dismiss these as geek humor but they are carefully thought out and all too prevalent in the wild...
