I think it’s interesting to note that computer science has paid relatively little attention I think to some of the problems that come up with very-large scale library automation and public access to information. I think that these are hard problems and also fruitful problems from a computer science point of view.

The Internet Toaster started out as sort of a partially practical joke and partially a way of demonstrating some things you could do with SNMP and computer networks that most people didn’t tend to think about.

I was interested in computer security when I first showed up at MIT as an undergraduate. I just found it an intellectually interesting field of study. But indeed because we have the students that we have I have an interesting perspective on it. In fact at MIT I like to say we have only two kinds of computer security. We have very good computer security, and we have…none at all. Because nothing in between is of any consequence.

I think if the Internet really becomes a public data network in the true sense of the word, something that equals Telenet or something like that, or surpasses it in capability, but it’s being used that way then I think in general the mission agency networks will become much more private, and not have to go off and pull capability to places.

Clearly encryption gets you into all sorts of political minefields having to do with export controls and so on. And there’s a lot of traffic on the Internet. There’s no particularly strong reason to encrypt it.

I hear these arguments and read these arguments on the mailing list that say oh, we’ve got to make sure we choose the right technology, the best technology, this should not be a political decision, blah blah blah and all those sorts of things. Well… I… That sounds wonderful. But it’s not being real.
