How would the challenge/serial have worked if implemented correctly?
Since the challenge rotate every 5 minutes, there must be some way for a user to enter against an old challenge, right? Else they call, get a code and nothing.
But even with that out of the way, the decryption key must be the same across all discs, since there is only 1 master disc.
So the challenge/serial must combine to create a decryption key, which can be shared across users.
- jcul 2mo agoIIUC the rotating challenge actually didn't have anything to do with the key, it was a red herring. The actual decryption key was just a function of the fixed serial number or something like that.
- wodenokoto 2mo agoI'm talking about, if they had actual encryption, how would it have supposed to even work?
