Emphatically, no, it isn’t. But now that we have your attention, is that even the right question? Probably not. Your security can never truly be “too good”; conversely, neither can it be “too poor,” though it is possible to have “bad” security (more on that in a moment). If security is addressed in binary modes, […]
