An attacker produces counterfeit hardware components which are included in
						product assembly during some portion of the supply chain lifecycle. The
						production of products containing counterfeit components such as counterfeit
						routers, switches, ethernet, as well as WAN (Wide Area Networking) cards
						results in the aqcuirer obtaining a device specifically designed for
						malicious purposes. The problem of counterfiet hardware is not limited to
						small or "one-off" vendors, but has included major trusted suppliers, such
						as Cisco. There are billions of transistors in a single integrated circuit
						and researchedrs have shown that fewer than 10 transistors are required to
						create malicious functionality, such as keylogging or password theft.
