Who needs dirty trace-able CPU backdoors when Intel's SGX technology will allow them perfect plausible deniability to give NSA (or China if they force them by law) the key to all "secure apps" that will be using the SGX technology:
> Finally, a problem that is hard to ignore today, in the post-Snowden world, is the ease of backdooring this technology by Intel itself. In fact Intel doesn't need to add anything to their processors – all they need to do is to give away the private signing keys used by SGX for remote attestation. This makes for a perfectly deniable backdoor – nobody could catch Intel on this, even if the processor was analyzed transistor-by-transistor, HDL line-by-line.
