Can you explain why you think this is a Chinese supply chain attack?
The chip isn't fabricated in China. The fab doesn't have access to the HDL source code so no one can just code in malicious registers. They'd need modify something like the chip mask precursor I think. I'm not a chip fabricator so I don't know enough to say this is impossible.
- sigmoid10 3y agoI explicitly said there is no evidence to make any such conclusion and merely provided an equally likely alternative lead. >The chip isn't fabricated in China. Not if you ask china. Though at this point I wouldn't be surprised if all major players have people on the inside.
- LargeTomato 3y ago> equally likely alternative lead You provided complete speculation. Definitely not an equally likely alternative.
- sigmoid10 3y agoIn what sense was the other lead anything but complete speculation?
