You will be able to do this -- at least, on x86. Some lobbying on
the ARM
front is needed.
It won't be a key that's supplied to the user, though. The user will
be able
to add their own.
As long as the key is unique to one single machine the idea is sound
except for the "user too stupid to live" cases.

What is it that will check "uniqueness" of the key?
Over the internet? Check with what/who ?
Thanx,
