Dan Kaminsky spent an enormous amount of time and effort on creating a secure hardware framework 10 years ago. It went nowhere for a lot of the same reasons you discuss in this comment.
The government and industry are all talk. Until we see actual enforcement / incentives for secure hardware, just assume everything (and I mean everything) can get shut down at any time. The only people who think this is an exaggeration are those who haven’t seen what things actually look like on the inside.
- yourapostasy 5y ago> Dan Kaminsky spent an enormous amount of time and effort on creating a secure hardware framework 10 years ago. Can someone please link me to a page that goes into more detail about this secure hardware framework? Not a month from his passing, and we get a national-security-level attack that might have been prevented if US business took more seriously software engineering and security engineering from back then. Also, I cannot help but wonder if Dan would still be with us if the irretrievably broken US healthcare system was a national system that supplied him with an inexpensive CGM and insulin no matter his employment situation.
- numair 5y agoThere were a bunch of people who worked with him on this in Taiwan. I don't think anything ever got released publicly, and I think Dan found the whole episode to be so frustrating that he never commented on it much in public.
