- eneveu 14y ago"Reflections on Trusting Trust", Ken Thompson's 1983 Turing Award lecture: http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html Also, there is an interesting article on trusting hardware ( http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.fr/2009/03/trusting-hardware.html http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.fr/2009/03/trusting-hardw... ) which was reposted two months ago on HN ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3656522 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3656522 ).
