Excerpt: "The latest attack vector bypasses the encryption performed by the Device Keys -- the same keys that were revoked by the WinDVD update -- and the so-called 'Host Private Key,' which as yet has not been found.

Once that was done, the firmware was soldered back onto the drive." --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
