Why Open Source is Not Optional - Especially When It Comes to Trustworthiness
summary
Open source provides measurable trust by enabling inspection, reuse and direct fixes rather than opaque validation. secunet highlights that many global infrastructures run on open source roughly 35–40% Linux as evidence of maturity, integrates post‑quantum cryptography into its Strong project and publishes that implementation back to the community, notes single‑maintainer risks, and pushes automated scoring and inspection workflows so customers can validate code, builds and binary provenance.
