Open source software on hardware that requires a certain digital signature in software, so that it won't run if the software has been modified. I suppose linuxbios could be used for tivoization of the payload, perhaps easier than a normal bios, but in that case couldn't linuxbios just be rebuilt to not include the signature checks? -Corey -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
