ABSTRACT
When carefully examined, most security exploits occur because of trust. Quite often this takes the form of a security vulnerability where trust is granted inappropriately. This can apply to cases of explicit trust where, for example, a source is verified; then anything coming from (or believed to be coming from) that specific source is trusted. It can also be cases of implicit trust where, for example, incoming information is trusted because it uses a particular protocol and the correct port.
