In many ways, computing security has regressed since the Air Force report on Multics was written in June 1974.

By default SMTP offers very little protection against interception. Traffic may be encrypted between servers but there are no guarantees.

email as a transmission mechanism isn't secure.

Snail mail can be too slow, and email isn't secure. So that leaves us with the decades-old, but still reliable, fax.

# ActiveStorage defaults to security via obscurity approach to serving links # If this is acceptable for your use case then this authenticable test can be # removed.

Messaging platforms are either secure or they’re not. NSA, it would seem, tends to agree.

First, the recognition that sensitive information needs to be transmitted securely over instant messaging platforms plays into the hands of the privacy advocates who are against backdoors in the end-to-end encryption used on WhatsApp, Signal, Wickr, iMessage and others.
