AMD Has No Plans To Release PSP Code (twitch.tv)

Posted by msmash on from the no-change-of-heart dept.

AMD has faced calls from Edward Snowden, Libreboot and the Reddit community to release the source code to the AMD Secure Processor (PSP), a network-capable co-processor which some believe has the capacity to act as a backdoor. But despite some signs earlier that it might consider opening the PSP code at some point, the chip-maker has now confirmed that there hasn't been a change of heart yet. "We have no plans on releasing it to the public," the company executives said in a tech talk (video).

    Yea those are all quality calls which if I hear their name I think to myself Yea I should give up my company secrets to them.

    So we have a traitor, a rather unknown NPO, and a Message Board.
    Come on you should at least get a Congressman, just to give the request some weight.
