MODERATORS
I suppose her attention is naturally focused on encryption, but the result of an untrustworthy operating system is not specific to it: Security in general becomes impossible.
Her business is secure communication and communication isn't secure (and can't be secured) if you have someone reading everything over your shoulder.
I'm curious: is there any operating system where a program can somehow inherently trust it via some form of verification?
