Re: Not sure that I get it.
The press release is vague as to the problem that's being addressed and raises more questions than it answers. It may be true that "they're bright so they must know what they're doing", but it doesn't actually answer the reasonable questions that arise.
If anyone knows some specifics, it would be interesting to hear more about:
1/ How the reliability of communication is currently protected, given the radiation hazards
2/ Given that multiple sacrificial FPGAs are being used to soak up damage, what's protecting the Pi Zero?
3/ What's wrong with the periodic re-keying that you would use in something like TLS to recover after key corruption?
4/ Whether MRAM was considered for key storage and, if so, why it was rejected.
