   We are investigating how to go about moving our network authentication
   to Kerberos.  As part of this, we must find means of assuring our
   security people that software we get from the network does not include
   intentional security holes.

this statement seems to imply that your security people "trusts"
software that you've purchased ...  i dare not say anything more, lest
we all fall off our chairs in riotous laughter ...
