-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via Forbes.com. [snip] Vint Cerf, Google's chief Internet evangelist, says the Internet is insecure. And he should know he helped build the thing. Cerf, who helped design the first protocols that allowed information to be sent across computer networks in the late 1970s, expressed regret in a speech Tuesday that he hadn't designed the Internet to be a safer, more regulated system. "We didn't pay a great deal of attention to the security side of the Internet when it was first being designed because we didn't really know if it would work at all," Cerf said in the keynote address at Georgia Tech's annual security summit. "Much of the problems that you all face every day might be caused by that."
