# Chip Location Verification ## A reply within 12 ms of the Singapore landmark rules out China; within 0.27 ms of the Seoul landmark, North Korea.

scale. Each span runs from the reply that rules its destination out at light speed to the one that rules it out through fibre . A reply within **12 ms** puts the chip within **1,799 km** of the landmark in Singapore, or **1,226 km** if the signal travels by fibre.

Licence destinations on the Singapore map China, Hong Kong and MacaoMacao and Country Group D:5 (22 countries) Licence destinations here are those the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR) set for high bandwidth memory (ECCN 3A090.c, [15 CFR 742.6](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-15/subtitle-B/chapter-VII/subchapter-C/part-742/section-742.6#p-742.6\(a\)\(6\)\(i\)\(B\))): Macao and Country Group D:5, which the regulations head “U.S. Arms Embargoed Countries”; China is in D:5, and the EAR has treated Hong Kong as part of China since [85 FR 83765](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/23/2020-28101/removal-of-hong-kong-as-a-separate-destination-under-the-export-administration-regulations) (23 Dec 2020). The chips’ own rules (ECCN 3A090, [Commerce Control List](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-15/subtitle-B/chapter-VII/subchapter-C/part-774/appendix-Supplement%20No.%201%20to%20Part%20774)) give no one border for both classes: the higher class (3A090.a) needs a licence for any destination worldwide, Singapore included, so the whole map would be inside, and the class below (3A090.b) has a shorter list that binds that class alone. The memory rule’s set stands in for both here, to show how a reply rules a destination out. How the circles are drawn A reply of t milliseconds puts the chip within v·t/2 of the landmark, where v is the fastest speed a verifier concedes to the signal. The solid circle takes the speed of light, 299,792.458 km/s ([source](https://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?c), research); the dashed circle takes light in fibre, slower by the fibre’s group index, 1.4682, from the product sheet for Corning SMF-28 Ultra: Effective Group Index of Refraction (Neff) 1310 nm: 1.4676 1550 nm: 1.4682 ([source](http://www.fiberlaunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/SMF-28-Ultra-3.pdf), primary). Distances run along great circles on a sphere of the IUGG mean radius, 6,371.0088 km, to Natural Earth’s 1:10m de facto boundaries, islands included; within 5 km of a boundary, the country a record names decides its side. The map draws Natural Earth’s 1:50m outlines, with the licence destinations’ 1:10m islands added; from them the page reads the other countries a reply leaves in reach and whether a record lies more than 25 km outside the country it names. One record does, so no map or count on this page includes it. China’s nearest point is Triton Island, Paracel Islands ([NGA GEOnet Names Server](https://geonames.nga.mil/geon-ags/rest/services/RESEARCH/GIS_OUTPUT/FeatureServer/0/query?where=ufi%3D-1323093+AND+nt%3D%27N%27&outFields=ufi,full_name,nt,desig_cd,cc_ft,lat_dd,long_dd,lat_dms,long_dms,mod_dt_ft&returnGeometry=false&f=pjson), primary).

None of the 1,093 live RIPE Atlas anchors stood in mainland China on 7 October 2026, so the mesh cannot time a single reply from inside it. Set aside in cleaning: 20 pairs and 9 anchors 16 directed pairs replied faster than light allows over their recorded distance, and another 4 beat the floor for solid-core silica fibre (group index 1.4606, the lowest on the 8 datasheets read). Those pairs, and the 9 anchors whose recorded positions they put in doubt, were set aside. The fibre floor drawn uses group index 1.4682, the instrument’s; a pair counted as too fast only if it beat the fastest fibre on the datasheets. #### Why a relay can only add time Any relay lengthens the path a reply travels; only a key held nearer the landmark shortens it. Landmark, relay and chip; the dashed line is the straight path the bound assumes. The perceived delay cannot be decreased (Gill and colleagues on evading delay-based location, [2010](https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/sec10/tech/full_papers/Gill.pdf)). The bound requires a fresh, unpredictable challenge timed on the verifier’s clock. [The Stack page](https://scrutica.com/verification/stack) traces which mechanisms depend on the key staying in the chip. Least round trip between the declared country’s nearest landmark and a chip anywhere in the alleged destination: at light speed, through fibre. Quickest plain pings between anchors under 10 km apart, fastest 1% to median, measured worldwide. The routes follow allegations in the cited charging documents. A defendant who has not pleaded guilty or been convicted is presumed innocent. 1.

A chip anywhere in China could not answer that landmark in under 0.98 ms at light speed, or 1.4 ms through fibre. Half the anchor pairs under 10 km apart answered a plain ping within 1.2 ms.
