I remember years back that my old Software Engineering Management lecturer gave a lecture on designing security systems. He spent two hours on the lecture and the basic upshot of it was that while we can (and indeed, should) keep making security systems more difficult to crack, it's doubtful that we ever will invent an unbreakable one. At least the people who do will end up very rich very quickly.
