Various major companies and governments are adopting OSS. As a result, there are many publications concerning its advantages and disadvantages. The ongoing discussions cover a wide range of topics, such as Windows versus Linux, cost issues, intellectual property rights, development methods, etc. Here we wish to focus on security issues surrounding OSS. It has become a reasonably well-established conviction within the computer security community that publishing designs and protocols contributes to the security of systems built on them. But should one go all the way and publish source code as well? That is the fundamental question that we wish to address in this paper.}, keywords = {security}, url = {https://arxiv.org/pdf/0801.3924.pdf}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/0801.3924.pdf}, author = {Hoepman, Jaap-Henk and Jacobs, Bart} }
