I want to suggest that trust is a kind of useful rubric through which to think about some

I'm Benjamin Withiss and this is the LawFair podcast February 22nd, 2021. David Hoffman

is associate general counsel and global privacy officer for the Intel Corporation. In that

capacity, he asked me to convene a group of people associated with LawFair to study the

problem of trust in hardware and software technology supply chains. In his other capacity

that of the Steed Family Professor of Practice and Cybersecurity Policy, for Duke's Sanford

School of Public Policy, he asked me to give a talk to a group of students about trust

and technology development. It's a wide-ranging conversation with David and with the students

about what the components of trust really are, how many of them are technical and how

many of them involve other things like corporate governance, like the regulatory environment

in which products are produced, and that ineffable thing called brand.

In the first part of the conversation, I give some thoughts on the subject. In the second

part, David asks a series of questions and in the third part, I take questions from

students. It's the LawFair podcast February 22nd, Trust, Hardware and Software.
