ARM TrustZone provides a convenient way for authenticating code, but
for confidentiality you need also some secure storage. There should be
some ARM chips like that out there.

If these guys do this just for fun, I suppose there must be low-profile
companies who will pull the code off of any chip for $$$, no questions
asked.
So the best security is to design things no one wants to duplicate.

Wondered what the state of the art is on keeping embedded code secret.
Who does it better these days?
I see some secure processors from Atmel and a few others, but they seem
more oriented to securing comms and data than in securing their own code.
