Video crypto standard cracked? Noted cryptographer Niels Ferguson says he's broken Intel's vaunted HDCP Digital Video Encryption System, but fear of U.S. law is keeping him silent on the details. By Ann Harrison August 13, 2001 10:14 PM PT ENSCHEDE, NETHERLANDS--A Dutch cryptographer who claims to have broken Intel Corp.'s encryption system for digital video says he will not publish his results because he fears being prosecuted or sued under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Niels Ferguson announced last weekend that he has successfully defeated the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) specification, an encryption and authentication system for the DVI interface used to connect digital cameras, high-definition televisions, cable boxes and video disks players. http://www.securityfocus.com/news/236
