RE: [Muscle] GPShell bin file

From: Peter Williams (home_pwmsn.com)

ok: we are agreed

one loads the loadfile using proprietary means: GP load and install commands
are technically proprietary, after all, as the conditions for GP-style
loading: e.g mandatory authentication using either standard GP or
non-standardized diversified keying.

The format of the loadfile is defined by SUN, as is subject to conformance
tests when licensing javacard IP from SUN MICROSYSTEMS.

If someone could point me to a decent writeup of diversified-key GP-style
loading of applets, Ill address it. It seems to be an under-the-cover
feature that noone admits to supporting, but everyone does (even blueZ,
OEM'ed)
