3rd party audit like everything else?
- bpt3 1y agoOkay, if you want to pass responsibility off to someone else, how does the third party auditor do it? I'm not talking about checking a compliance box, I'm talking about actually confirming no backdoor exists.
- jacquesm 1y agoThat's proving a negative. You are always going to end up with something like 'to the best of our ability'.
- bpt3 1y agoYou figured it out. It's trivial to include a backdoor in a large system of systems, and one placed by a remotely competent adversary will not be found. So what's the point of a regulation that can't be enforced?
- LtWorf 1y agoSo you claim it's never possible to audit anything?
- bpt3 1y agoI'm asking how you expect an auditor to confirm the absence of something in a series of black boxes that a determined and skilled adversary would like to hide.
