Open design would seem to favor the attacker, because it certainly opens the implementation and perhaps also the design for the attacker to study. Justify that open design overrides this seeming advantage and actually leads to solid security.
What will be an ideal response?
Open design allows for much closer inspection of the security system—more awareness of the security practices in place is more likely to reveal vulnerabilities to enable resolving those vulnerabilities rather than their exploitation. Obscurity is an insufficient security mechanism, open design allows a more thorough inspection, and knowing that a design will be open should make designers more careful.

TCP is a robust protocol: sequencing and error correction are assured, but there is a penalty in overhead (e.g., if no resequencing or error correction is needed). UDP does not provide these services but is correspondingly simpler. Cite specific situations in which the lightweight UDP protocol could be acceptable, that is, when error correction or sequencing is not needed.
