In shtatovskoy military chip made in China found password-protected "back door"
I read two articles on the website of the hacker magazine:
In the first article they write: the researchers managed to find a backdoor in the Chinese FPGA chip, which was placed by the manufacturer and able to remove cryptographic protection from the chip, change the AES key, gain access to unencrypted data, disable the chip. It was possible to find out the secret key that activated the backdoor. And they write that this chip is widely used in military systems (including armaments), at nuclear power plants, and in transport.
In the second article, they write: such backdoors are common, they are created for debugging hardware support; some of the manufacturers remove the backdoor before the release of the equipment, and leave the other part, simply locking it with a secret key.

I also advise you to read this and other articles, to draw conclusions.
