Financial management and reporting have a lot of credibility? I'm sure [one of the recent newsorthy villains] would have loved you.
The folks designating Best Practices in financial reporting have a lot of credibility, was what I said. That's folks like the FASB. Folks who fail to follow them, or hunt for loopholes in them that require patching, understandably don't share that credibility. I tried to write to make clear which I was referring to, apparently I failed.
Anyway, computer science maturing has little to do with compsec from my point of view [...]
Understandably, there's no reason to hope we'll be alive when it begins to happen. We gotta do computer security now, even though we're having to make it up as we go along.
Best practices should be used as somewhat of a guideline, [...]
Well, after a fashion. Best Practices, in the context of computer security, should be used as a touchstone for the ignorant and/or fraudulent, trying to pretend that their field is sufficiently mature to have something analogous to Best Practices. -Bennett
