The goal is to create a more secure version of the program. Since (safe) rust eliminates entire classes of security relevant bugs, a rust version has the potential to be much more secure that the C version. And since rust can eliminate entire classes of bugs, we can put more energy into finding bugs like the ones presented in the article.
