It's an interesting concept, for sure – but could someone more knowledgeable than me explain whether this leaves the system vulnerable to the potential, alleged backdoors present in Intel's chips via the Intel Management Engine?
- talltower 10y agoOur long term plan is to limit ME capabilities using the BIOS configuration. We just released the SOW of the 1st BIOS with Eltan on the WiKi. https://www.orwl.org/wiki/index.php?title=File%3ASowDESIGN-SHIFTORWLPUBLIC20160902.pdf https://www.orwl.org/wiki/index.php?title=File%3ASowDESIGN-S... We are planning to investigate how to further limit ME capabilities with Eltan and we will update the SOW as we make progress. We also believe that the current secure micro controller implementation severely limit the ME capability through power management and the SSD key management.
