Show notes
We've talked about Oxide's Root of Trust--the hardware underpinning the security of the product--but how do we keep a bad actor from spoofing Oxide to load malicious software? Philip Tricca joined Bryan and Adam to describe the key ceremony, the process of creating and storing the secret that plays a critical role in manufacturing. And we paid our respects to the dot matrix printers that made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of security.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, our special guest was Philip Tricca.
