Therefore, I assert that securing systems adequately for use on the Internet is indeed a SOLVED PROBLEM in computing.A HUNDRED MILLION machines beg to differ.
You misunderstand. The problem of securing machines *IS* solved. It is possible. It is regularly done with servers connected to the Internet. There is no *COMPUTING* problem or technical problem. The problem of the 100 million machines is a social or business problem. We know how they can be secured, but the solution is not being implemented. --Michael Dillon
