"The white papers and strategy papers concede that the persistent adversary that is well funded will get into your system."

The way it was sold to investors was that you had to have physical access to the machine to break into it. That there were no back doors for sovereigns.

If a well-funded person can access your pc via the network, and indeed if there are back doors in the system, TC has been missold.

And that being the case, enterprise resistance makes sense. Why put up with the restrictions if one doesn't even get robust security?

As regards your answer about the DoD, personally I find it unimpressive. If a TC network isn't secured against the Chinese and the Iranians, then the main reason for adopting TC is removed.

The TC philosophy doesn't make much sense as swiss cheese.

Alea,

The DOD and Chinese and a few other nation states have the same capabilities as each other as far as cyber hacking and attacking goes.

The white papers and strategy papers concede that the persistent adversary that is well funded will get into your system.

The deal is to make it as cost prohibitive as possible for the layer of crooks/bad guys below the nation states.

Raising the bar as I said before.

There will be lots of layers of computer security in the really highly classified areas, but even then where there is a will there is a way. JMO

The industry wants to sell bigger and better locks and safes and ID management tools to the Governments of the world.

Nothing's perfect in this world (can't speak for Doma'sSmile
