about two sunspot cycles ago I was working on a military project
concerned with (what in the jargon is called) multi-level security.
How to have a top-secret cleared system talk to a system with
a lower clearance and things like that. The solution for transferring
messages from one system to the other was this:
The top-secret system types out the message on a teletype.
A security officer reads the message and types it in on a
different teletype for transmission to the other system.
Security is a human process in the end.
