TrustSig is the company blog at trustsig.eu, writing about security. Since 2026, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times, most often “New web obfuscation technique: Divergence”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The only comment discusses WebAssembly's sandbox security in a thread on WebAssembly runtime performance. It does not mention or judge the TrustSig site's writing, so the blog's subject is unclear from the comments.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
I agree. It is mostly a solution looking for a problem and has close to the same functional downsides as Flash or Applets other than "transparency". Its 'sandbox' is also escapeable at both the engine level in V8, Gecko and JavaScriptCore (All in C/C++) and at the implementation level; especially if the software was converted from C to WASM. So it is not the silver bullet people think it is. [0] https://nvd.nist.gov…
