This isn't strictly true.
While traceability and tamper-proofing are prerequisites for preventing right-to-repair, they're also needed for things like maintaining supply-chain-integrity, which is becoming a adjacent, but different concern.
A lot of the things in the article (diamond dust in the coating,s, etc...) are basically just tamper detection, and even then they require someone to visually validate the PCB. I don't really have a problem with that kind of thing.
- Lind5 6y agoQuestions about authenticity can occur at a supplier, with contractors to a supplier, or during the movement of components between contractors and to the customer. The types of anti-counterfeiting options to be used depend both on the value of the component and the consequences of fake components. But they all focus on the ability to uniquely identify a component so it can be tracked through final system assembly https://semiengineering.com/new-and-innovative-supply-chain-threats-emerging/ https://semiengineering.com/new-and-innovative-supply-chain-...
