Instead of saying put up or shut up, let's think if this is within the capabilities of Intel or an impossible feat. First off, the RNG doesn't have to reside in RAM as it could already be in cache. So you're already not going to be detected by looking at RAM access. Also, it's not 1992. Modern architectures and modern operating systems are going to throw out instruction timings from Intel manuals. A cache miss and you're toast. Now if you have a dedicated pipeline to executing a RNG within a code cache, all you would have to do is work out it's inverse. Very plausible. Unless the above sounds magical, it does seem like this is a possibility. And as it's been shown that the NSA is using it's enormous budget to pay US companies to help do it's bidding, this does seem like it's within reach. |
