The flash contains hashes signed by the companies private key.
The kernel contains the public key. It can decrypt the hashes but the
private key isn't available to encrypt them. So although you can put a
new application onto the system, you can't create a signed hash to
write to the flash.

Then how hard would it be to reprogram the flash, to get rid of all
this crap? Or to just put your public key there.
Do they at least use BGA type of flash chips so you can't attach
a clip and have to use something more demanding?
Stop trying to technically crack my 5-minute fag-packet design - that's easy and
boring :)
Tivo have solved this problem - use their solution - but do it on something more
general purpose.
Help fix it - the point is more "is this feasible". And if it is, "does it matter?"
