This paper fundamentally shifts my threat model from trusting *code* to trusting the *process* that creates it.  
I now assume that code, no matter how well-written or verified, can be compromised at the source.  
My defense strategy will be **defense in depth through redundancy**: I will employ multiple, independent verification methods to ensure the integrity of software, such as comparing checksums, using digital signatures, and verifying source code against compiled binaries.
