The background for this talk is bunnie's obsession with building a trustworthy computer. For decades, bunnie's been chasing the dream of a computer whose every component - operating system, drivers, firmware, *and hardware designs* - are open to inspection. Bunnie's reasoning here is that anything that can't be inspected (and, by extension, modified) by its users is a spot where bad guys can hide bad stuff, and where lurking bugs can fester until they are exploited by bad guys.
