I guess they should've written in rust. If nothing else, arguing about "unsafe" between managers, or even lawyers, between orgs, would be fruitful in new ways.

- gjsman-1000 4y agoTPM 2.0 first appeared on the market in 2014. Rust first appeared in 2015. And Rust took a while to become a mature system. TPM 2.0 was also an improved version of TPM 1.2, which came out in 2009. So... maybe if Rust was a decade earlier.

- amluto 4y agoFor something like TPM, IMO, using a memory safe architecture should be table stakes nowadays. I would go further: the design should be as simple as possible to achieve its requirements, and the implementation should be formally verified.
