If the SIM can act as a TPM for the binary blobs and report tampering, it could be the TLAs have actually been doing what they are supposed to be doing: securing infrastructure.
- fragmede 5y agoIf my cellphone's code can be used to "hack" my carrier, we're one open source project away from game over. Which in some ways is the SS7 hack, but I having been following the cell phone companies responses, so maybe that did get secured against.
- bobberkarl 5y agoThe sim cards cannot be used as a secure element or a TPM in most android phones. The SWI lines that connects the SIM to Android are cut in most hardware designs. Google cuts them in the nexus (with one nexus having a notable exception), Samsung cut them and forces you to use their embedded secure element.
