Well, yes, unfortunately.

My intent was not to question your findings, of course, but it was more an expression of "wonder", as this goes against the spirit of openness and collaboration we've seen through the years. Hard to believe they would lock it down.
Now there were reports in the past of a few bricked Primes during flashing, so it wouldn't surprise me if they implemented some kind of hash to verify that what you are about to burn into flash is what you intended. Of course, we'd have to figure out how to recompute the hashes after changing a file (and by we I mean the community, which after simplifying the equation gets reduced to essentially... you and critor ).
Complete lockdown with full crypto simply doesn't sound like an idea Tim or Cyrille would want to implement, just doesn't fit their profile.
