Spectre digital cirtcuits

 We are builtin memory that is unknowable, and the memory has a hardware timeout reset for each location, and a random number generator, that is hardware reversible. The kernel code has a set of burnt in operations, and memory can only be operated via that code section.

That random generator is known to the foundry. If the thief attempt to isolate that memory, the thief would disrupt that generator, and be discovered. But that micro code, the fake, will not meet the internal, secret checksum anyway. There is no separating the kernel code, foundry, and secret memory.  

All short chains are protocols which terminate at some finite future. The Spectre processor simply insures that standard protocol stability applies, always. If it is not verified then it cancels to status quo ante.
