"One interesting appraoch is to use old computers to compile newer compilers (possibly through emulation" I strongly second this. It's what I came up with to deal with hardware, subversion risk post-Patriot Act. The older it is, the better as the oldest stuff predated wireless hardware and had hardware so scarce they didn't waste transistors. I made a list for people here: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/09/surreptitious... One can also use embedded boards made with MCU's from the old, process nodes. The 8- and 16-bitters will be slow, painful, and maybe not subverted. Alternative, Leon3 GPL CPU on diverse FPGA's. Or my brute-force approach: same compiler on one machine and ISA from each subversive, non-cooperative country comparing output. Lot cheaper to do that now with excellent FOSS support. :) |
