Abstract
En 中文
By guarding their source code, most soft-ware producers make it hard for an outsider to help improve system security. But because attackers can also examine public source code to find flaws, is source code access a net gain or loss for security? The question goes beyond technical issues: publishing source code reveals intellectual property and therefore affects the producer's business model. This article considers this question from several perspectives and tentatively concludes that making source code available should, on balance, work in favor of system security.
