(this is where everybody who's not familiar with it should go re-read Ken Thompson's "Reflections on Trusting Trust" (http://www.acm.org/classics/sep95/) The "unknown Air Force document" is this: "Multics Security Evaluation: Vulnerability Analysis* by Karger and Schell http://www.acsac.org/2002/papers/classic-multics-orig.pdf Those who think a 30-year-old paper is irrelevant and crufty should read the same author's retrospective: "Thirty Years Later: Lessons from the Multics Security Evaluation" http://www.acsac.org/2002/papers/classic-multics.pdf Trust? What's that? Pass me the tinfoil, I need to make a helmet. ;)
