I think probes can have firmware modified by upload, even the very far away ones.

- gojomo 5y agoIf that was a designed-in capability, sure. But these would be non-updatable.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoA sibling commenter said, only if that was the design. Heck they can launch with credit cards on board that have chips in them, those also have a private key, you give it some data, it returns a digital signature of this data, signed using a private key on-chip which can't be modified. It'll be a different use case for encryption, but I guess a unique signature is not guessable that one could use that as an encryption key...
