Mmh… but this concept only fully works on Open-Source hardware, doesn’t it? Otherwise the microcode or CPU itself could still be an attack vector to infect the bootstrapped compiler?
That would be the deeply classified Nexus Intruder Program that no one has yet solved. Which would be hardware that infects software that in turn infects the next generation of hardware.
They already have a solution to the Trusting trust attack thanks to DDC and live-bootstrap’s work.
