I think software is secure if it does what it is supposed to do, nothing
else, nothing unintentional. Most attacks probably try to trigger some
unintended behaviour using malicious (i.e. unexpected) input.
Considering all sources of input for a program, it'll be a broad subject
and it's obviously hard to achieve.
