I am trying to understand the parsing of CPU/integrated circuit you are doing but I am not following. How are you conceptualizing the CPU as different than an integrated circuit?
- tremon 10y agoIt's a pars pro toto: a CPU is an example of an integrated circuit, but there are integrated circuits that are not CPUs. To make this distinction more relevant: this kind of attack would be very useful in the context of EEPROMs or cryptographic chips (like TPMs): you could, for example, induce a cryptographic chip to dump its internal state (private keys), or you could overwrite a flash region that would under normal operation be non-writable.
