Which has yet to go through a professional level vetting. About the best
that can be said for it was what was published in "Maximum Security".

Really? Talk to some crypto programmers some time. I think they'd disagree
with you a great deal on that one. The reality is that memory leakage via
apps -is- a major concern for real world security issues. OS'es don't have
the best record in that regard either.

I'd suggest arXiv or SiteSeer as a start. You can also take a look at the
NSA version of Linux.
