- jstanley 10y ago> By comparing the hash values for a real and test warhead, one can confirm if the test warhead is a match or not. But if only the weapon owner knows what is in the "real" warhead, couldn't he simply submit a dummy as his "real" one, and then offer up a load of dummy warheads for test?
- saboot 10y agoYes, authenticating a first one is required. However, if this bothers you, consider what we do currently on verifying nuclear warheads -- nothing.
