But I don't really see why there's a concern about Tivoization, perhaps I'm just ignorant of how it could be implemented.
Yeh, maybe I'm ignorant also?? What do you mean by Tivoization?? LinuxBios on set-top-boxes?? Hardware hacking?? Fill me in....
Thanks - Joe
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?
