      ab: The article discusses potential security threats associated with computer chips. Topics include a paper by Todd Austin and Matthew Hicks presented to the IEEE Symposium on Privacy and Security documenting their success at building a backdoor into a computer chip, researchers and security experts' concerns regarding Trojan horses or other types of hardware attacks, and Austin and Hicks' use of a single engineered component in the overall structure of the chip to create the backdoor.
