Eric, you make a very good point.

What if security were not an issue?

What would your position be if our hypothetical flight recorder
had been downgraded because the manufacturer decided to retire?

If there is no reliable agent that can inspect the flight recorder for
signs of tampering, and can not answer critics with questions about the
security of algorithms, and maintain the security keys, I think it ought
to be prohibited from world record use. IGC should also determine if it
is still suitable for international competition. I'd leave it up to
national bodies about it's acceptance for their purposes, which IGC
can't control in any case.
