Doom9 Researchers Break BD+

Encryption Hardware Hacking
An anonymous reader writes "BD+, the Blu-ray copy protection system that was supposed to last 10 years, has now been solidly broken by a group of doom9 researchers. Earlier, BD+ had been broken by the commercial company SlySoft." Someone from SlySoft posts a hint early in the thread, but then backs off for fear of getting fired. The break is announced on page 15.

The Doom9 thread is here.

These are mostly linux enthusiasts trying to get Blu-Ray working under linux.

So much for the encryption system lasting ten years!
