I have read Jonah’s informative answer to the question on Intel ME backdoor speculation. The summary is the ME sucks but you should not disable it with me_cleaner because that introduces more security issues. I’m left wondering, is this still the case if you disable Intel Management Engine using the HAP disable bit rather than me_cleaner? If so, why would the United States government require it for their High Assurance Program? (Not meant to be a gotcha question, I’m genuinely curious.)
No reason to create another thread about this.
Please post your question in one of the old ones.
