Are there any open-source ASICs for wifi, bluetooth, gsm, cdma, or
other communication chips?

I briefly glanced and saw:

http://opencores.org/project,bluetooth
https://github.com/RangeNetworks/openbts

only slightly related to my request:

I would appreciate any references or links you can provide me to
working chains of custody and their threat models. I am curious to see
what a good one looks like. I think that chain of custody is going to
be problematic because of dopant-level trojans, which can probably
sneak past chain of custody systems. (There are ways to detect
dopant-level trojans, but they are expensive and annoying. Still,
better than nothing of course.)
