+1 yes, this is the major use case

thanks! - understood - i had trust-verification in mind - so it is a
question if you trust the media that you boot or not. You are right
maybe FSL is the wrong platform to work on that.

Btw. if it comes to trust, i want to advertise the OSSTMM 3 starting
with Page 87 Trust Analysis.
http://www.isecom.org/mirror/OSSTMM.3.pdf - do you trust the link? -
Just joking it is really worth reading it ;)

Excited what this "trusted computing SIG" will come up with - i will
lurk to find out more!

Thanks again - cu Joerg
