JARs look good but there don't seem to be decent cli tools to deal
with them (can fastjar sign and check sigs in packages?)

Martin,
Thanks for your note. Unfortunately, it left me with more questions than
with answers. Some questions include:
* What use cases are you trying to support?
* What threats obstruct supporting those use cases?
* What trust structure are you trying to create and how does it

The XS now has a few new packages that allow it to auto-install
certain types of content (XO installation builds, for starters) from
USB keys. This means that I have to address validating that such
content comes from a trusted source.
So I am setting up a simple and straightforward authentication
