Encryption is a useful tool (and a fun research area), but like all tools, it's only useful if properly employed. If used in inappropriate situations, it won't provide protection and will create operational headaches and perhaps data loss from mismanaged keys.

PCI is a useful tool (and a fun research area), but like all tools, it's only useful if properly employed. If used in inappropriate situations, it won't provide protection and will create operational headaches and perhaps data loss from check lists.

Concurrency is a useful tool (and a fun research area), but like all tools, it's only useful if properly employed. If used in inappropriate situations, it won't provide protection and will create operational headaches and perhaps data loss from lock contention.

AI is a useful tool (and a fun research area), but like all tools, it's only useful if properly employed. If used in inappropriate situations, it won't provide protection and will create operational headaches and perhaps data loss from Skynet.

Computers is a useful tool (and a fun research area), but like all tools, it's only useful if properly employed. If used in inappropriate situations, it won't provide protection and will create operational headaches and perhaps data loss from solar flares.
