I just found a "Vinculum Firmware Customizer" app that allows the Vinculum firmware to be modified and stored. Baud, stop bits, data bits, parity, flow control, IPA/IPH mode, Vendor ID, Product ID, unique firmware version name.
One initial thought is that you could put in a unique set of parameters, then on boot the Prop will 'try' to talk to the Vinculum at the non standard baud, then examine the reported settings. If they are not present, the Prop shuts down. Maybe a dongle idea for low level security application?
