Apple’s Mac OSX has had a capability called FileVault for a while now. The basic idea is that it encrypts your home directory and everything that lives in it, including mail, browser cache, private application state, and so on. It’d be the windows equivalent of encrypting HKEY_CURRENT_USER plus all the files in your user’s directory. [...] [...] The more complex the system, the harder it is to secure.

Many of the points he raises are things we are continually reminding ourselves as we push forward with Teqlo development, and invariably face the reality that things can get complex really quickly if you don’t actively work to make them simplified. In almost every dimension, it’s much more difficult to create a simple system than a complex one because complexity is a virus that is self replicating.
