From: yehudi at tehila.gov.il (yaakov yehudi) Subject: Response to comments on Security and Obscurity A firewall is more akin to a specialized filter medium, but filter mediums aren't used as the entrance or exit to a military base. It is probably possible to find analogies between the information security world and physical - but only on a piecemeal basis, and that is simply irrelevant and pointless. Peter might be much better to concentrate on the realities and forget about straw-man analogies. What do you think? --------------------------------------- Barry Fitzgerald wrote... Well, you can try to make an analogy between this and a well-secured network. The problem is that the analogies don't align. A firewall isn't really like a gate with an armed guard at it. --------------------------------------- Ya'akov Yehudi Information Security Officer Project Tehila Ministry of Finance Israel http://www.tehila.gov.il/Tehila1/english_site
