A system of tamperproof electronic black boxes is proposed to implement a technique which prevents the launching of nuclear missiles for a first strike, but which allows them to be launched for a retaliatory second strike. The proposed technology is very similar to one developed during the past ten years to provide security in retail electronic banking systems. The various elements of the system are described, and additional issues that must be resolved for it to work as intended are discussed.
