This I must agree with. Once having been a member of a unit dedicated to communications security, I learned the more crude a communications system is, the more secure it is.
The crudest form of communication between two commanders is a courier running manually encrypted messages. This courier must be physically intercepted, which would make the interception obvious to the commanders.
Digitally anything today is basically Koolaide for us useful idiots spiked with holes, back doors and outright feeds to the unwanted.
The new system, if connected to the internet, will be no exception.
The other day I got a pop up from Google asking if I wanted to entrust all my passwords with one of their secure systems. This would be like giving the fox & coyotes keys to the chicken coop. People by the millions will be falling for this.
The new system, if connected to the internet, will be no exception.
The weird thing is, the Air Force (all DoD branches) insist on connecting their systems to the internet, thus the continual Chinese and Russian attempts at penetrating systems they wouldn't have access to 30 - 40 years ago.
