Default Feature Encryption String - Reverse Engineering

Hot topic I know but i figured id stir the pot a little.

Trying to figure out just how these feature encryption strings A: Relate to the 40+ "feature codes" we all use, B: How the string is derived from the ESN, and C: If there is some other 3rd "key" needed to have it all make sense.

Over at BatLabs there has been some on-going research but i do not have the credentials to do any more reading on it over there.

I have experience in reverse-engineering software authorization and key-gen apps so this could be similar. M/A Com has been using this same technique for quite a while, which leads me to think the method or algorithm used to calculate it is probably an old standard of some sort.

Anyone have a bone they can throw my way?
