Inspired by the comments on the video I read "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thompson. I highly recommend this paper!

I 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/ . My DDC paper discusses how to counter the attack.

Bookmarked! 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.

I have read some of it. Very cool stuff :). There certainly seems to be parallels to this process in genomics.
