    Default Intermediate Question

    It's a simple question/debate to secure a server.

    Avoiding getting too technical, I would like to keep this theoretical.
    How secure would a network be if you used the method class to send abstract code, say authenticating data only.
    Chaining at least two server side machines where only the server side knows the execution timings of the proprietary machine code when executing randomly chosen abstract versions.
    Funnel the clients responsibly, no other access points.
    Propagate the method class design to the client's side code.
    Assuming encryption is done logically and proper, this would eliminate hacking all together.

    I think you need to elaborate on your question/debate a bit, mate. It might be just my lack of understanding, but im having trouble understanding your terminology and the context.

    Especially the following thigs rise my eyebrows:
    if you used the method class to send
    send abstract code, say authenticating data only
    Chaining at least two server side machines where only the server side knows
    knows the execution timings of the proprietary machine code when executing randomly chosen abstract versions.
    Funnel the clients responsibly, no other access points.
    Propagate the method class design to the client's side code.
    So if you could clarify especially on the points mentioned above, it would help for at least me to understand what you are talking about.

    Thanks!

    Nope. Can't be done. Computer security is a process, not a product and nothing short turning your servers off and burying it in a desert will make it 100% hack proof.

    Well, if you could somehow validate with 100% certainty that a message came from a specific approved source, you would do away with hackers intercepting the data and sending false requests and messages, but I have no idea how someone would accomplish that (with current technology). It would require an identification which could not be mocked...

    You can validate with 100% certainty by eliminating addresses that are attempting to learn the server with repeated failed connection attempts.
    The data would come from a approved source because the server accepted the request.
    Interception is cumbersome and would violate the time limit given to respond.
    Current technology is the key words but with most major companies basing themselves at fiber optic hubs I'm not sure why they are still giving away data dumps.
