I saw this making its rounds a few days ago on sci.crypt: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.crypt/browse_thread/thread/b067c37ba1b81dc4. Its interesting that Niels Ferguson claimed key recovery in 2001, and it took nearly 10 years for the keys to be anonymously published. The haXors seem to be losing a step or two as they get older :/ On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 9:24 AM, Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi> wrote:
[September 17, 2010] "An antipiracy code used in set-top boxes, Blu-ray and DVD players has been cracked and published on the Internet, and as a result, we may soon see devices on the market that allow people to make unauthorized copies of movies. Intel confirmed to CNET yesterday that code posted anonymously to the Internet earlier this week is the secret master key to the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol. Intel created HDCP to be used for ensuring that only authorized devices are playing copyright-protected video and audio, and it licenses the technology to hardware manufacturers." http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20016768-245.html Juha-Matti
