Hi, all!

Which leads directly to Marcus' well known rant about positive
security models.

You cannot make even any *one* Thing in security "perfect"

You can. You can code an HTTP server that does nothing but
serve static documents in (my guess) less than 1000 lines of
C and you can prove a program of this size to be correct.

Customers tend to favour "off the shelf solutions", though.
IIRC this once led to another one of Marcus' rants ;-)

Regards,
Patrick
