Interesting topic guys. I´m still thinking about things you are talking about there, and this should be possible.
I went through the whole process from FPGA to ASIC as a microelectronics student, from design to fabrication, yes I was personally in the clean room holding the wafers.
The saddest thing is that it was 5+ years back and the crypto was not so well known and I had no clue what can be done in this area.
Now I´m still on the same faculty as a PhD. student, I think I can pull some triggers and be helpful in this area.
If a group of members decide to try something, count me in.
