Subject: [oc] Cryptographic hardware
Describe a way to study a black box that is supposed to make a good AES (for
example) encryption but how to be sure that :
1) the encryption is a good quality (key generation ?)
2) There is no "undocumented" feature
Maybe it's impossible to do it. But maybe a kind of design could expose those
internal in a certain manner that permit external observer to garantie what
the hardware does.
You could review software code and compile it. You can't do that with a chip.
So for the "trust", some technic must be find.
