1. Today, as information warfare and electronic warfare are increasingly prevalent, information security has become a global issue.
2. However, China’s integrated circuit board chips are highly dependent on imports.
3. Most chips used in government and civilian applications are foreign-made, including those used in the military and defense industries.
4. As a result, information across various sectors is vulnerable to external threats.
5. To protect information security, IT equipment PCB copy boards and on-board chip decryption are crucial for reducing reliance on imports and overcoming core technical barriers.
6. The localization of PCB copy boards has thus become a significant development trend in the IT industry.
1. In recent years, following a series of international espionage incidents, the slogan “going to IOE” has gained traction within the domestic IT industry. Consequently, PCB copying and the localization of network equipment have become prominent trends. Due to the high barrier of foreign high-end technology, achieving localization through independent innovation is challenging. By reverse engineering the original product, PCB copying can rapidly acquire comprehensive technical information, such as product PCB documents, BOM lists, and schematic diagrams, thereby overcoming technical barriers and laying the foundation for further localization development.
2. PCB copying also necessitates the inclusion of on-board chip decryption.
3. However, some industry insiders express concerns. They argue that merely copying PCBs is insufficient. “Domestic server products that use copied PCBs still rely on Intel chips, meaning the servers still incorporate foreign chips.” To establish a robust national information security mechanism, they contend that PCB copying alone is inadequate; it must also involve chip decryption, and reliance on external chip procurement should be minimized.
4. Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of independent chip research and development versus chip decryption.
5. Despite China being a major chip manufacturing country, it remains awkwardly positioned at the lower end of the industry chain, primarily engaging in foundry work without mastering core technologies. International manufacturers still monopolize 80% to 90% of the chip market, particularly in high-end sectors where competition is fierce. The main issues include insufficient funding for chip research and development, long development cycles, and limited short-term returns, which dampen enthusiasm for R&D. In contrast, chip decryption requires less investment, yields quicker results, and allows for reverse engineering of the original chip. This process can uncover vulnerabilities, repair and modify functionality, and result in a new chip with enhanced capabilities after technology upgrades. Re-encryption ensures that the country’s information security is maintained.
