You run into ToCToU issues. Even if a chip is "open", how can you be sure the chip you have corresponds to the specification? If that isn't a concern, any FPGA based SoC fits the bill, for example the MNT Reform Kintex-7 modu

Supply chain attacks can be mitigated with "golden chip analysis", you destructively analyse a known good chip after measuring various power and timing benchmarks across adversarial configurations, and repeat those measurements ac

Good at what they're being programmed for is a bit of tautology. FPGAs being selected for performance per watt was only a fairly recent phenomenon, when they were deployed on semi large scale as password crackers/cryptocurrency mi

What exception? If you are a citizen and intend on returning to the US (or even intend to renounce) you should be in good standing with the IRS (FBARs and annual filings). You owe the difference between locally paid taxes and federal taxes,

An interesting approach to vendor-independent attestation was outlined in [1]. Basically the bitstream is fed into a physical unclonable function (PUF) which is used to derive a key to decrypt the rest of the bitstream. For attestation, one
