New rules for advanced computer chips to prevent theft and misuse.
This bill would require advanced computer chips from the U.S. to have security features, like location tracking, before they are exported, reexported, or transferred in a foreign country. Companies exporting these chips would also need to report any suspected theft or tampering. This aims to protect U.S. technology and national security.
Today, advanced computer chips do not have a specific requirement for built-in security features like location verification. This applies before they are exported, reexported, or transferred in a foreign country. If this bill becomes law, within about six months, advanced computer chips would need to include location verification security. Companies exporting these chips would also have to report any suspected misuse or tampering. Over the next few years, the government would study and potentially add even more security features to these chips.
