I've always wondered if we paeons truly know what the heck is going on in our chips. I mean, the basis of trust is pretty large .. but there is really nothing we can do to ascertain whether there isn't a backdoor in every single chip package, and indeed this has been discovered to be a real situation by the Pentagon (Chinese backdoors in milspec chips), so .. I can hardly imagine that we can do much more than just plain trust, and get over it.
- meaty 14y agoThe truth is that you don't and this is fairly apparent when you find a buggy device and the vendor either shrugs it or threatens to sue you. (yes that does happen) You can build out of discrete logic. The opportunity for something dodgy to be built in at that level is unrealistic. Some military equipment still works on that principle.
