We deal with interfacing Alarm systems, both fire and security. 3Des would be needed so someone would have a hard time tripping alarms via the internet. I don't want to get out of bed at 3am, along with a lot of other people, fire, police, owners etc. Also we are writing Code, which programmers spend hours/days/weeks on. And we are getting patents, and writing code for the hardware. I think security is going to be much more important as time goes on. I am the extreme paranoid type, so I would rather take the safe route every time. I think if Enron had some hackers, and they deleted some data, it would only be doing them a favor at this point.
