Subject: Airport Express crypto broken by DVD Jon (via Monty Solomon)
Jon "DVD Jon" Johansen has cracked the Apple Lossless encryption used by the
Airport Express to communicate with iTunes, so that programmers can write
tools that use any application and any operating system to send audio to an
Airport Express. I've released JustePort, a tool which lets you stream
MPEG4 Apple Lossless files to your AirPort Express.
The stream is encrypted with AES and the AES key is encrypted with RSA. ...
