It is designed to destroy the secondhand market, the fact it can be hand waved away as "security" is just the smokescreen.
It could be implemented in a way that preserves the ability to reuse CPUs, but it wont be.
- rocqua 6y agoWhat would such an alternative implementation be?
- tyingq 6y agoI guess they could provide a key that works with all the fuses blown, and a utility to blow all of them.
- Sebb767 6y agoIn which case you could easily blow all fuses, sign your malicious firmware with the all-fuses key and you're good to go.
- R0b0t1 6y agoNo, this won't work if the user is checking the attestation ability of the firmware or system. A similar exploit already exists by just modifying the firmware and expecting the user the just replace the CPU without checking the BIOS.
