Therefore, over the next five to ten years, I anticipate that hackers will have a very beneficial influence on the safety and stability of cyberspace. I know Michael Vatis well. He's a very good person, and what he's doing is important. It has to be done by the individual proprietors of individual computers. That is essentially a three-part solution.
Software has to meet certain standards of safety and stability and reliability and transparency.
The second part is that government has to test and certify that software, so that as a commonwealth interest, software is validated by the government as meeting those standards. But the third and most important part is that the proprietors of the computers themselves must live up to a new standard of responsibility. You can't leave your computer connected to the world and not have firewalls. You can't send documents without encryption or other protection and expect them to remain private. So we ourselves have a responsibility.
