> TPMs ... Google is quietly working to remove them from their own machines
Are you referring to Chromebooks or Google's cloud server hardware? Are the TPMs being replaced with a proprietary hardware enclave?
- eat_veggies 9y agoIt looks like they built their own chips for their servers: https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/08/Titan-in-depth-security-in-plaintext.html https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/08/Titan-in-depth-... Notable quote: "Google designed Titan's hardware logic in-house to reduce the chances of hardware backdoors. The Titan ecosystem ensures that production infrastructure boots securely using authorized and verifiable code." This is what we need. Authorized and verifiable code, none of this opaque binary blob BS.
- ENOTTY 9y agoGoogle's code/hardware logic is an opaque binary blob to you. What difference does it make whether the binary blob is a Google chip or a TPM?
- eat_veggies 9y agoSorry, what I meant to say was that we need those types of verifiable and transparent chips in our own computers rather than ME and PSP
