38C3 - The master key

https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-the-maste...

This is the story of the HDCP master key that we derived back in 2010.

This is the story of the HDCP master key. How in 2010 we derived it from various public sources and from a bunch of cheapish hardware (and how we made money in the process!), and then published it on pastebin. After that it was just wait-and-see what Intel and the rest of the world would do.

With the master key anyone can make source and sink keys that interoperate with any HDCP device.

Oh, and how I learnt how to spell "forty".



HDCP MASTER KEY (MIRROR THIS TEXT!)

This is a forty times forty element matrix of fifty-six bit
hexadecimal numbers.

To generate a source key, take a forty-bit number that (in
binary) consists of twenty ones and twenty zeroes; this is
the source KSV. Add together those twenty rows of the matrix
that correspond to the ones in the KSV (with the lowest bit
in the KSV corresponding to the first row), taking all elements
modulo two to the power of fifty-six; this is the source
private key.

To generate a sink key, do the same, but with the transposed
matrix.
