What a super important project! Very well done to the researchers and I really, really hope you get funding and/or people joining and taking this all the way. Please keep it up! Been involved with a physical supply-chain assurance technology project and this is the first time I heard of this kind of IR chip scanning. For those that don't understand; securing the provenance of physical hardware is the foundation of all other cybersecurity. VCs and money people... this is where you should be placing your bets! It doesn't actually matter if/that it's not terribly effective at the moment. Keep building and roll it out. Get people using cheap scanners and publish open hash databases. Even with false positives it becomes like "effective security theatre" and is a massive deterrent to anyone attempting implants or stealth logic modification at silicon or board level.
