Okay, if you want to pass responsibility off to someone else, how does the third party auditor do it?

I'm not talking about checking a compliance box, I'm talking about actually confirming no backdoor exists.

That's proving a negative. You are always going to end up with something like 'to the best of our ability'.

  • You figured it out. It's trivial to include a backdoor in a large system of systems, and one placed by a remotely competent adversary will not be found.

    So what's the point of a regulation that can't be enforced?
