Do you think being an open source project makes it more secure somehow? It doesn't.

Do you think being an open source project makes it more secure somehow? It doesn't.
- djreynolds 8y agoThis is code you can inspect running on hardware that you own and control. It's trivial to ensure it's secure at that point. Unlike when it belongs to a company.
- dymk 8y agoI'm tired of explaining why this isn't a valid argument for security. Being able to compile your code means _nothing_. As is tradition, just read "reflections on trusting trust": https://www.archive.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p761-thompson.pdf https://www.archive.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p7...
