In other words, the trusted computing base is “trusted” first and foremost in the sense that it ''has'' to be trusted, and not necessarily that it is trustworthy. Real-world operating systems routinely have security-critical bugs discovered in them, which attests of the practical limits of such trust.<ref>[[Bruce Schneier]], [http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-0103.html#1 The security patch treadmill] (2001)</ref>
The alternative is formal [[software verification]], which uses mathematical proof techniques to show the absence of bugs. Researchers at [[NICTA]] and its spinout [[Open Kernel Labs]] have recently performed such a formal verification of [http://
