Title
Trusting strangers: Open source software and security
Abstract
The issues of trusting software, certifying security, and the relative merits of open and closed source software as a basis for critical systems are discussed. It is concluded (i) that neither approach in itself can assure the absence of security flaws or sabotage, (ii) that better methods are needed for assuring the properties of products without respect to the people or process used to create them, and (iii) that system architects should exploit what they know they don't know, as well as what they do know, in composing system architectures.
