Anderson's rule (computer science)

In the field of computer security, Anderson's rule refers to a principle formulated by Ross J. Anderson: by their nature large databases will never be free of abuse by breaches of security. If a large system is designed for ease of access it becomes insecure; if made watertight it becomes impossible to use.[1]
