There is something wrong with the setup of your case. If you are doing a diskless boot from a share ... how could you use a device (usb or something else) to authenticate before the system has booted? The idea with the GPG/PGP key is not bad, but it won't help you for the setup with the USB drive. Q: Do you have a keyboard and is it desirable to use it on boot time? Or you want just to plugin and if the right usb is inside the boot will go on. you can do this after the system has already booted and you can access the usb from the diskless station.
