I think the idea is that the components are simple enough in the case that it can be reviewed visually by inspecting the circuit board and comparing it to a signed/verified reference. The last bit that is missing then is the chip's firmware, but apparently it is possible to get a dump of the firmware, so you can at least ensure it is what you expect. It will be a pretty interesting problem for cases. How can you both make a case that is practical and lets you inspect components? Maybe encasing the circuit board in transparent resin would work, but then you can't reprogram it anymore (which might be a feature). EDIT: Oh, that username rang a bell. Hi Chris :) Keybase.io FTW!
