Security guru wants access to bug databases</a>, |
|
ZDNet UK, April 21, 2005</strong></font><br> |
|
Ingrid Marson reports on Cambridge professor Ross Anderson's call for analysis of |
|
software maintenance records to determine whether open source code is more secure |
|
than closed source, as we have long contended. |
|
"One of Anderson's research students, Andy Ozment, has already done |
|
research using empirical data on bugs found in the open source |
|
operating system OpenBSD between 1997 and 2000. This research found |
|
that finding and fixing bugs results in a more secure product..." |
|
