Quotes

• “The lesson here is that it is insufficient to protect ourselves with laws; we need to protect ourselves with mathematics. Encryption is too important to be left solely to governments.”
• “A few years ago I heard a quotation, and I am going to modify it here: If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don't understand the problems and you don't understand the technology.”
• “It's certainly easier to implement bad security and make it illegal for anyone to notice than it is to implement good security.”
