There is only one port that is really secured. For port to be secure it must meet following conditions.
 # Port must be documented. Users should know what protocol and for what purposes are used.
 # The protocol used to communicate through this port is secure.
 # User should be able to bind it to specific network interface.
 # User should be able to change its number.
 # User should be able to completely disable it if it is not needed.
