New Defcon Badges Feature Open-Source Chip as Security Key
Defcon 2023 introduces badges with Andrew Huang's open-source chip, doubling as a security key. Attendees can inspect the chip's internal structures.
This year's Defcon conference badges, designed by Andrew "bunnie" Huang, feature an innovative open-source chip aimed at enhancing security. The Baochip-1x can be used as a hardware security token after the conference, allowing attendees to inspect its internal structures using infrared light. This represents a significant advancement in chip transparency and security, addressing traditional concerns about opaque chip designs.
