-<p>Description:
-Java is a key programming language for enterprise applications. As such, the Java compiler is an ideal target for a trusting trust attack. This thesis aims to investigate the feasibility of diverse-double compilation (DDC) to mitigate this problem You will design, implement and evaluate DDC for Java.</p>

-<p>Description:
-C is a fundamental programming language for system-level software. Given its widespread use, the C compiler is a prime
-target for trusting trust attacks. This thesis aims to explore the systematic use of diverse-double compilation (DDC) in a modern Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. You will design, implement and evaluate DDC in a CI/CD environment.</p>
