Subject: how can I protect my kernel image from being disclosed?

Dear Gurus:

I've surveyed for secure boot for days and most of them are either
grub-md5-crypt or u-boot and TPM support.
There is a thread about using grub to decrypt kernel image, but the
discussion didn't go to anywhere.

--> http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01976.html

So, I'd like to know if there is any bootloader capable of decrypting
an encrypted kernel image via a secret key supplied, without the
constraint of TPM?

Thanks in advance.
