In fact, governments probably should only EVER deploy executables they have built themselves, using their own compilers (see the classic computer science paper Reflections on Trusting Trust).

You’d also need chip auditing and verification for security-critical systems. And some level of chip assurance. And 🇬🇧 Cell-like audits… Details to be determined 😉

I was talking to a colleague last week about what REAL would mean.

For software in critical infrastructure, I think it would include military hardware-like contractual provisions, requiring eg the full and of all source code, including for updates… and the right at any time for governments facing supply/continued operation threats to use that escrowed code to recreate their own versions of the software, and use them until the supply threats are removed.
