Could FreedomBox please ask Marvell whether their motherboard has ARM's TrustZone or Trusted Platform Module (TPM). They both generate a visible UUID and make hardware UUIDs visible. TrustZone and TPM have digital rights management and enable tracking by the media industry, hackers, government, etc. ARM's TrustZone description is at http://mobile.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/trustzone.php ?tab=Why+TrustZone? FreedomBox needs to have open source leftcopy hardware such as Qi hardware. See http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Main_Page Anonymous software such as openVPN, MacChanger and TOR and a Linux OS are not enough to ensure privacy. The MAC address of the wifi card, the MAC address of the bluetooth card and the processor serial number are visible even when not connected to the internet. If Marvell's motherboard has TrustZone, TPM or its equivalent or Marvell's processor serial number is visible, please ask Marvell to remove them. Or ask a manufacturer for a truly private processor and motherboard. Thank you.
I'm a little confused about all this concern I've been seeing about UUIDs. Could someone explain this to me? How exactly does it hurt your privacy/anonymity if your CPU has a UUID? Or, asked another way, what is the attack vector? What would a hacker or government or other adversary need to do in order to track someone by their UUID? Please help me to understand this threat.
