[Inserte referencia a Stallman]
>The chip, announced today, is the brainchild of a partnership between Microsoft and chip makers Intel, AMD and Qualcomm.

>Pluton acts as a hardware root-of-trust, which in simple terms protects a device’s hardware from tampering, such as from hardware implants or by hackers exploiting flaws in the device’s low-level firmware. By integrating the chip inside future Intel, AMD and Qualcomm central processor units, or CPUs, it makes it far more difficult for hackers with physical access to a computer to launch hardware attacks and extract sensitive data, the companies said.
[...]
>Microsoft said Pluton made its first appearance in the Xbox One back in 2013 to make it far more difficult to hack the console or allow gamers to run pirated games. The chip later graduated to Microsoft’s cloud service Azure Sphere, used to secure low-cost Internet of Things devices.
[...]
>The chip comes with immediate benefits, like making hardware attacks against Windows devices far more difficult to succeed. But the chip also solves a major security headache by keeping the device’s firmware up-to-date.
[...]
Para el remate:
>Microsoft declined to say if it planned to offer the Pluton chip designs to other chip makers or if it planned to make the designs open-source for anyone to use, but said it plans to share more details in the future, leaving the door open to the possibility

Lo mismo dijo Amd sobre PSP y ya van años con la comunidad esperando que liberen el código.

Ya, ¿y puede uno tomar control de la cadena de confianza y chantar su propio certificado raíz?

No les bastaba con apropiarse de UEFI.

Que raro, no me siento más seguro.

El título del hilo me hizo pensar otra cosa, ahora veo que además de las cajas negras de intel y amd ahora van a poner otra de microsoft a todos los procesadores por la mierda.
