I don't really believe that getting a) crypto stuff for b) the kernel by 
piping unencrypted content into a shell without prior verification could 
possibly provide additional security. Do you have plans to use digital 
signatures or something that might guarantee data integrity and verify that 
the downloaded content is really from the author it is supposed to be?
