I haven’t done adequate due diligence yet - could be inaccurate

I came across this article alleging that Germany is considering bailing on the F-35 aircraft because the US can remotely disable them.

If the US could do this to German F-35s, presumably they can do it to ours…

Are you telling me NSA is incapable of adding in a backdoor that would pass German/Canadian inspections? Zero day backdoors by definition are undiscovered

That’s not what I said, at all.

PS - I work in InfoSec (CISSP). Please tell me more about what I’ve been doing for past 20 years lol

for someone with two decades of infosec experience, it’s alarming you’d overlook asymmetric cryptography. it’s simple to build an unhackable kill switch using basic cryptographic primitives, unless you think the enemy has a quantum computer.

You might want to give this a read, then re-read my original post. I never said there wasn’t a backdoor, just that it would be stupid.
