  2. Some Postulates about Network Security • You can never prove something perfect, all you can do is fail to prove that it has some faults! Keep looking! • If a lot of smart people have failed to solve the problem, then it probably won’t be solved (soon!) (p41 in the text) • Security people need to remember that most people regard security as a nuisance rather than as needed protection and left to their own devices they often carelessly give up the security that someone worked so hard to provide. (p245 in the text)
