OK, I'm stupid.

So my next questions are:

1) why wasn't security designed in from the start?

2) why isn't this everywhere?

Oh, yeah, the answer is probably "The original designers of the Internet 
didn't pay attention to security".

Which is part of the reason why I stopped paying attention to network 
protocols years ago - in frustration because of thtche lousy security.

(The first US company worked at, The Little Software House on the 
Prairie, (a) was where I learned a lot about hardware and OS, (b) had 
been the Illiac networking group, (c) was a pioneer in secure OSes and 
secure networking.   They made part of the living adding security as an 
afterthought to networking.   It always annoyed me that security had not 
been designed in from scratch.)
