Please Guys .... if you cant add some technical detail butt out. This reply to this tortured thread breaks my own request - but NOTHING statements like "If you dont like the security use something else - becasue only amateurs who create no value in their IP use LPC2000 chips" such as this one from Mr Stuart Wallace is silly in the extreme. Im sure Philips wont like to read it Stuart. I for one am trying to load tricky algorithmic stuff to treat spinal trauma patients - and I dont like the idea that someone can read my implementation and copy it - nor the implication someone can change it if they can reprogram the chip. People doing POS work and WIFI stuff must feel the same. I hope you Understand jaya is a respected academic and I hope his arguments stimulate Philips to supply a detailed assessment of the present status of their security. All the dribble about it not being important is most unprofessional and not of the quality we want on this forum. I sincerely hope Philips defeat Jayas detailed argument - and perhaps Jaya hopes he is wrong also - because we like this chip series and respect Philips efforts. But to KNOW is to be secure that one makes the correct decisions. Thats why Jayas efforts are important for us all.
