Re: MUSCLE Disk encryption and more

[Jim Rees]

  Ok, so you have a bunch of executables and a table of pre-computed CRC's. 

No, you have a bunch of executables, and for each you have a crypto hash
signed with a private key.

You could store the public key in the secure rom, but this guy wants to use
a smart card, presumably because he wants to be able to re-key.  Of course
the card and the secure hardware still have to share a key (or key pair) so
they can mutually authenticate.
