Vintage Computing for Trusted Radiation Measurements and a World Free of Nuclear Weapons (34x111)

Air date: Dec 29, 2017

Speakers: Moritz, ALX Eliminating nuclear weapons will require trusted measurement systems to confirm authenticity of nuclear warheads prior to their dismantlement. A new idea for such an inspection system is to use vintage hardware (Apple IIe/6502) instead of modern microprocessors, reducing the attack surface through simplicity. In the talk, we present and demo a custom open hardware measurement system based on gamma spectroscopy.
