"Complexity is the worst enemy of security." - Bruce Schneier, *Secrets and Lies* p. 354 "A more complex system is less secure on all fronts. It contains more weaknesses to start with, its modularity exacerbates those weaknesses, it's harder to test, it's harder to understand, and it's harder to analyze." ibid, p. 357 Simon -----Original Message----- From: Saqib Ali [mailto:docbook.xml@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 10:02 AM To: webappsec@securityfocus.org Subject: simplicity improves security? Hello All, I am looking for a quote to end an presentation, that talks about how simplicity in an application can improve the security, whereas a more a complex application will be more prone to security related issues. Any quotes from any security gurus? -- In Peace, Saqib Ali http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/ Consensus is good, but informed dictatorship is better.
