My understanding is that LPC series do not offer any code protection
like that in PICs or AVRs.  I know that for AVRs, you can preload the
boot sector, lock it down, and ship the part to customers.  Customers
 can load their code, run your code in boot sector, but still would
not be able to read any of your code.  There is no way to do this on
for LPC series.

Philips's idea of boot sector protection (from erasure) is hiding of
flash progamming algorithms and providing IAP code that in the boot
sector which will block attempts to erase or write to boot sector.

If you look at the boot loader code, say for LPC2104, upon reset,
memory location 0x3fff8000 is witten with the part ID.  I suspect if
you are using JTAG, this is what gets returned as the JTAG IDENT. If
your setup can proceed even when the IDENT command does not return the
expected value, I suspect nothing else will stop you from reading
contents of flash.
