Bruce Schneier
I am regularly asked what the average Internet user can do to ensure his security. My first answer is usually 'Nothing you're screwed'.
Bruce Schneier
The question to ask when you look at security is not whether this makes us safer, but whether it's worth the trade-off.
Bruce Schneier
ID can be hijacked, and cards can be faked. All of the 9/11 terrorists had fake IDs, yet they still got on the planes. If the British national ID card can't be faked, it will be the first on the planet.
Bruce Schneier
Technical problems can be remediated. A dishonest corporate culture is much harder to fix.
Bruce Schneier
People often represent the weakest link in the security chain and are chronically responsible for the failure of security systems.
Bruce Schneier
