[1] Security trough obscurity is often criticized as bad practice, but actually it is the only way security can work.
Simply not true. Just because you don't have all pieces to the puzzle does not mean that the security is provided by obscurity. The entire plans for the lock (or the software) can be provided but the key is private. Its an absurd argument to state that because the key is private that obscurity is providing all of the security.
You will not see lock made out of glass, Glass breaks.
nor your password is not 'open source'. Obscurity is present in any security solution.
Describing Keys as obscurity is a stretch. It perverts the entire argument about closed source code vs open source. -- ----------JSA--------- Sig line deleted for the humor impaired. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
