I actuallyed laughed out loud at this sentence:

> Austin likens Morpheus’ defenses to requiring a would-be attacker to solve a new Rubik’s Cube every second to crack the chip’s security.

Hopefully that is a gross simplfication for the bendfit of less tech savvy folks. A physical rubiks cube can be solved nowadays in 600ms.

To be fair, 600ms is a long time for what I assume is an analogy for a hashing algorithm.

Maybe it would be a fun idea to have sensitive data encrypted in such a way that a part of the hashing algorithm involves solving a physical Rubik's cube.

I would say that 600ms is just a _mechanical_ limitation.
