BackupHDDVD Explained by Author
Follow the Engadget story here. Here’s the key section:
“Affirmation 4: BackupHDDVD is nothing, only one person out of a million have the technical skills to extract keys.
My comment: BackupHDDVD is a proof of concept.
Picture this:
Few skilled persons can do massive volume key extraction, and send the keys to a central server on the internet. Then, they create an easy to use decryption program, with a nice GUI that do online key recovery. That way, my father and your father can backup movies.
Or they can send the keydb.cfg file on P2P networks (BitTorrent, E-Mule, etc..)
See the problem now?…
The attack I describe in “Affirmation 4″, is not here yet, but it’s coming.”
In other words, darknet, here we come.
