> not all security is crypto

Yes, but you started off talking about crypto so that's what I'm going to address...

Unless you're a cryptographer (and even then), any time you're using any type of crypto the risk model in your head is probably going to be completely wrong. I recently blogged about this:

Unless you plan on becoming a crypto expert your best bet is leaving cryptography to the experts.

I didn't talk about crypto at all, and I don't see any connection whatsoever to this subject. Admittedly, even my comment was off-topic. Now it really goes way off.
