[$] Security in an error-prone world

The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air was a beautiful car, kernel.orgadministrator Konstantin Ryabitsev said at the beginning of his Korea LinuxForum talk. It had roomy seats, lots of features, and a smooth ride; itwas all about power and comfort. But if you got into an accident with thiscar, it would kill you; it was not designed around the idea that thingsmight go wrong. Our computer systems in 2015 mirror the Bel Air of 1957;they are not designed around humans and the mistakes they make.Konstantin had a simple message for the audience: take a cue from theautomotive industry and design and build systemsthat do not fail catastrophically when errors are made.
