Inkjet cartidges and laserprinter cartridges already have this kind of
functionality. Rumor has had it for a long time that Dell has been
doing this with their batteries.
In any case, the strength of the crypto is irrelevant. What's relevant
is the strength of the lawyers arguing that clone makers are violating
the DMCA.
