OpenSSH Creator Explains Why He Trusts No One

Original: OpenSSH Ships on Every Mac, Linux Server and Windows. Its Creator Trusts No One

A profile of OpenSSH, the secure shell software that ships by default on Macs, Linux servers and Windows machines worldwide, focuses on its creator and his deeply defensive approach to security. The piece describes how his distrust of people, systems and assumptions shaped the project's famously rigorous code, which underpins secure remote access for much of the internet.

Why now: OpenSSH's ubiquity in critical infrastructure makes reflections from its creator on security and trust resonate with developers and system administrators.
