You've got to be kidding. There's no way of validating anything about modern hardware, it's packed with independent systems running various firmware, software that's decades old, parts nobody can even identify unless you're the OEM. You can get to "that probably does this" level easily, but that doesn't tell you anything about its actual security or authenticity.


Is this a desirable state of affairs?


No, but it seems to be inescapable.


Funny you should say that... Guess what I'm working on, go on, guess. :-D

And don't call me kidding. ;-P
