In fact, it can also be designed as a marginal circuit so that a small fraction of the chips fail due to manufacturing variance. You can test for the weakness and ship the bad chips to people whose privacy you don't respect.
- oakwhiz 13y agoThe circuit in question could also be enabled or disabled by using a high-energy laser pulse to blow out a tiny fuse on the ICs as they sit on the wafer, before sending the wafer out to be cut into individual ICs which are then subsequently packaged into the seemingly ordinary chips that we are all familiar with.
