yes sevral format FIT is just one of them

Today we use a bpk formoat

in bpk format you can store different data for each hw_id, each data have a
specific type.

we add a new type for the signature.

we do a sha512 of the other data of one hw_id and signed it with a rsa4096
we use 1 unique rsa key per HW_ID

as soon as one of the file of a specific hw_id is open we check the signature

The code is no public yet but this is handled at FS level

and we allow only to open data that have been verified or decrypted if we use
AES
