Does he mean security as in only allowing certain people to access the
data ? IMO it's out of the scope and better handled out of the file
format/streaming. It's more a transport/storage issue than format.

There is encryption possible in WebM though that's working with a EME
DRM module.

If he means data safety, that's something we can work on. We already
have the CRC for checking. In the past we also discussed redundancy
but it was ruled out (again, better handled outside of the file
format).
