The public key needs to be in the CPU. The private key is only needed when Intel needs to sign new microcode.

- pabs3 4y agoIsn't this an encryption key not a signing key? There are of course signing keys involved too though.
- cperciva 4y agoThere's both. The encryption (decryption) key has leaked. The original question was about "making your own microcode", for which you would need the (not leaked, and unlikely to leak) private signing key.
