In a laboratory in Paris, hackers on behalf of Apple torture their own chips with cold, heat and lasers. The goal: find security gaps before secret services do.
It would be better for the SZ not to tell its readers where exactly the so-called hardware security laboratory is located, Apple asks that this be done – for security reasons. What happens in the double-secured rooms in the heart of the French capital is too sensitive. Security experts from the iPhone maker are trying to hack their own devices here. And by all means that money can buy. These include Faraday cages, ovens and refrigerators, oscillators, specially trained AI models – and lasers.
