I love this post. I love Ed Felten's automatic key assignment on the web page. Now it is clear how the key was obtained. Chances are high the key will be obtained again pretty soon using the same assignment. Last edited by Galileo2000; 3rd June 2007 at 13:13. |

Also finding the key of Black Box Server is not harder for them than finding which key is used in AnyDVD. (And rate limiting doesn't necessarily work if one uses a different machine with a different IP for each query.) |

They are facing a big dilemma along with their customers I think. They can try full-strength and tremendously increase the manufacturing costs for the formats that are not mature yet and haven't been established into the mainstream. This way they will cut on profits and might just kill both formats. And yet they have no guarantee it will be bullet-proof 100%. Or they can do nothing. And see what happens to the sales figures. I know I won't be buying their "newly protected" stuff. (unless we need it for testing ). Just think about the following picture for a second: - I don't use AnyDVD and don't decrypt the disc. - I just put my purchased Matrix HD DVD into my purchased Xbox HD DVD to play on my carefully assembled HTPC ( and the video card is HDCP-compliant btw ). PowerDVD flashes nice bitmap which says something about 5 years in federal prison and then puts a dialog saying it cannot play because my driver (the latest ATI driver) is not good enough. I have no HD DVD or Blu Ray STB boxes. If I have no tools at my disposal to play HD DVDs I bought, I will return them for the full refund and will never buy them again. They should thank people for opening the gate. They got their money. We got our HD DVD playback and spent money they got. Last edited by Galileo2000; 18th June 2007 at 03:10. |

Maybe they are waiting until software players have to be "updated" again, and then the press releases on their site dated January 24th 2007, February 15th 2007, and April 16th 2007, will, in true Hollywood fashion, be re-released.

Yes, nvidia is supposed to encrypt the data over the PCIe bus (AES 128 bit engine). This probably only works for VP2. The author speculated wether ATI does not encrypt since the CPU load with encryption is lower. Also nvidia only considers Vista and PCIe for security reasons. |

I seem to recall some research that looked into the feasibility of obtaining the LA root certificate using some heavyweight cryptanalysis (and 10^7 revoked keys). Is this being looked into? I'm doubtful it's possible, but I imagine it would be be checkmate for the LA if we got our hands on it.
