Comparing Software Security to Physical Security

On Crypto.com, there is a very interesting article titled "Safecracking for the Computer Scientest" which goes into great detail on the construction, strengths, and weaknesses of physical locks and enclosures, then comparing these items to Software Development. The article is well written, with an interesting point made. The author would suggest that since physical security devices are constructed without an expectation of perfection, but rather with an expectation of imperfection, that software be developed in the same manner and have allowances for such imperfections so that it will withstand security vulnerabilities more effectively. This is a very interesting topic worthy of consideration and debate.
