You misunderstand. The problem of securing machines *IS* solved. It is
possible. It is regularly done with servers connected to the Internet.
There is no *COMPUTING* problem or technical problem. 

The problem of the 100 million machines is a social or business problem.
We know how they can be secured, but the solution is not being
implemented.
