- Q-Q3 2y agoHi there! I believe the mention of "trust" is related to the paper Reflections on Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_Ref... Though I do think the tagline used could definitely be improved from a marketing standpoint.
