Suppose you are provided with several computer systems on the market. The systems include hardware, system software, applications, operating systems, DBMS and many others. Is it possible to enhance one of the computer systems such that it can be customized to be a totally standalone system, so much so that the system only processes and outputs the required results, no other external inputs and no upgrade of the system are required. Will this system be totally secure? Discuss from all possible perspectives. Your aim is to derive a 100% safe system. You must state all possible assumptions, constraints, etc.

Hello!
I want to make a login system as secure as possible on a website I develop.
* The user shall log on using a Username and a password (which is stored in
a mySQL database)
*The server which I use to run my application has "register_globals"
activated (set to "on"), so that has to be taken into concideration
*The system should be secure even if the user do not click "log out" when he
is finished. (Users often just close the browser...

This is regarding secure login implementation in PHP. I'm trying to
understand <http://mail.yahoo.com/> If I understand right, they're
passing the md5 hash instead of the password itself. But, I couldn't
understand the use of "challenge" string in their mechanism. IIRC,
sometimes ago, I read somewhere that this kind of system is not secure
at all. Does anyone have any idea?

Could someone please suggest a very lightweight solution for protecting
directories on a web server? (membership system)
The job is basically this:
An administrator, after logging in via the web, should have the ability to
add/remove users who then could access their own password protected
directories only with their
browsers.
I know this could be easily done with Zope (I know that) and probably with

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
