- dwheeler 7y agoI also highly recommend "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thompson. But if you read it, please also consider reading my dissertation "Fully Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double-Compiling (DDC)" at https://dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/ https://dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/ . My DDC paper discusses how to counter the attack.
- rolandog 7y agoBookmarked! Thanks for writing such an interesting and relevant dissertation. I just finished reading the linked homepage, and will take a jab at your paper when I get some distraction-free time. But it really seems impressive.
- domnomnom 7y agoI have read some of it. Very cool stuff :). There certainly seems to be parallels to this process in genomics.
