Originally it was a few trusted nodes and the only real security was
physical, meaning access to a terminal.  ARPA/DARPAnet security guards
certainly would not let just anyone access a terminal.

Originally it was a few trusted nodes and the only real security was
physical, meaning access to a terminal.

ARPA/DARPAnet security guards or military police certainly would not
let just anyone access a terminal.  It was designed for the
military/government to be able to communicate after a nuclear (or
similar) strike by self healing with routing around the outage.

That was the original idea but it became more than that after the
potential of a public WWW was recognized, as many Universities started
getting connected, at which point, many of the government systems were
taken offline.  Why?  Lack of security in the implementation itself.
