How secure are the "out of the box" bootloaders available from Microchip? In 
particular, I'm interested in a secure bootloader for the 16-bit PICs.

Obviously, I would want to protect both the bootloader and the application 
code. So I'm guessing it comes down to two things:

    1. Protecting the bootloader code on the PIC
    2. Using strong encryption for the app code

I'm assuming I don't have much control over #1, the protection is only as 
strong as Microchip makes it. But what about #2? Which encryption scheme 
would be reasonably sufficient to protect the code?
