Am I correct in assuming that they altered their previous plans and chose to go with the "100%" open-source route or there are still some parts of it that don't fall into that category?
This is the first official announcement in which I see the mention of the term "transparent" secure element. In the past, they called it either open-source or "
as open source as possible" which was evident from their early announcements. The latest info dkbit98 shared mentions they are against "
closed products". So the idea is still to create a different type of component from the traditional closed-source chips, but probably not a fully open-source SE. "
As open-source as possible" should still be the most correct definition based on what we have seen up till now.
