That should make it a lot easier to identify hardware back-doors.

- dheera 7y agoAgreed. Also I hope it brings the end of the Apple security-by-obscurity methods that allowed that one iPhone to be cracked by a third party hacker. If you know what's in the hardware a 4-6 digit PIN is fine for deterring casual onlookers but is never enough entropy to secure data. People should learn to use real passwords if they want their data secure.
- edoo 7y agoPerhaps... one of the capabilities is to dope gates with different materials so the transistor layout stays the same but the behavior is modified. Unless the system could detect the actual elemental differences you might get a false sense of security just confirming the transistor layout.
