The conversation begins with a fundamental distinction between two types of security. The first is computer security, which focuses on protecting computers from unauthorized access, a strategy that has repeatedly failed over the past 30 years as information inevitably gets compromised once stored on a device.

This approach involves encrypting information so that even if the storage systems are breached, the data remains secure—examples include encrypted messaging platforms like SMS, iMessage cloud backups, and various other messenger services.
