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?

You might want to look at VGE - the oldest encryption that they did.
