The Impact of Open Source Development on IT Security
Abstract
Products of the Open Source Development Model are widely accepted if not imperative nowadays. The community which creates these components is following different norms and structure than the conventional developer teams. It is important to understand what implications for the information infrastructure might be caused by these differences, and what are the possibilities for protection. In this paper I conduct a systematic analysis of the relevant literature to identify the possible risks and defence mechanisms.
