Trusting software

Open-source or closed-source, it's the same issue. Using other people's software has a lot to do with trust. If you don't trust the right people, you're putting yourself at risk.

Yes, I remember something about high-level certificates which contains proof that certified hardware or software is safe. I think one or two HW routers have it. I'm sure no operation system and no personal computer come close. So, you can wait for your proofs and use pen & paper in meantime. I prefer to trust.
