“Every day, deep in the bowels of a windowless, white room in a
Washington, D.C., office building, millions of bytes of top-secret
U.S. government data shunt silently between a few dozen expensive
computers.”
“Among the arsenal of hardware and software assembled to protect
that data is OpenBSD, an operating system that, for the last five
years or so, has consumed the life of Theo DeRaadt, a 31-year-old
University of Calgary computer science grad who is an advocate of
the radical idea that security flaws in today’s software programs
are a byproduct of nothing more than a hurried, rushed, and flawed
software development process.”
“We started finding out that it isn’t really about security;
it’s really about quality of software,” Mr. DeRaadt said.”
“It’s been one of our main goals to be the most secure
operating system out there.”
