I was thinking more in terms of data theft - good observation.JGFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580785981874040314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587346.post-49344184095567649132011-05-14T10:35:32.700-05:002011-05-14T10:35:32.700-05:00I think that the security perspective depends on b...I think that the security perspective depends on both the system design and the threat model. The system you describe, for instance, would be more vulnerable to data theft but less vulnerable to denial of service attacks.<br /><br />The principle of diversity is useful in both security and reliability contexts. There has even been work on creating artificial diversity for increased security.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
