Trusted Library

Definition

A trusted library is a collection of pre-verified and secure code modules or components that are used within software applications to perform specific functions. These libraries are considered reliable and have been vetted for security vulnerabilities, ensuring they do not introduce risks into the application.

How it Works

Using a trusted library can reduce the chances of introducing errors compared to writing code from scratch.
