The Analyst's Diary is a weblog maintained by virus analysts from Kaspersky Lab headed by Eugene Kaspersky. Find out more about the authors of this weblog.
Since the initial post on Induc, I keep going back to Ken Thompson's classic paper on "Reflections on Trusting Trust" from 1984. The read was fascinating in 1984 - and the paper and Induc should remind us all that a little paranoia is often warranted... Induc seems to be an incredibly sexy implementation of something posited 25 years ago. For those who haven't read it or don't remember it, the paper can be found at h t t p : / / cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html . Enjoy!
