Re: It's Just Retarded!
>Another being that the extra oversight of the Huawei kit makes it a bit more of a faff to get signed off. I’m assuming you’d want the kit tested by HCSEC before you plug it in/upgrade the software.
I would assume, given the nature of HCSEC, that you would want ALL kit that was to go into the core to be signed off by a UK organisation like HCSEC.
But then I suspect some agencies would prefer the core to be built using equipment from compliant sources, as then their keys will fit the backdoors and the hooks will be there for their virtual crocodile clips.
