> And sure, I could verify it... but then that's no longer trust That is the common trust in the open-source software community, but AFAIK not practical in hardware hence impossible. In software we can build from source and verify the checksum to make sure the binaries aren't manipulated, but not for the hardware. We know we can't trust humans so we use software to protect us.
