There's a classic model of security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Hahahaha, CIA, get it, CIA! As I get older and more experienced, the more I think that A is more important than C or I. If you don't need Availability, why not just put things into /dev/null for Confidentiality? That's just the digital form of burn after reading.
