Here's what I've come up with: Secure software is software that remains dependable despite efforts to compromise its dependability. Agree? Disagree?I disagree about that being bumper-sticker size, and I think we really need bumper stickers.
a better bumper sticker would be something like: "secure software is what i write. call me now to find out how!" ... i don't see the point of a short phrase. it's obvious what secure software is. software that has no bugs and no design faults. -- mic
