"As such, Palladium "is a very clever system," Reynolds said. "You can't crack it in the conventional sense."

"Conventional cracking of the technology would be difficult because when an attacker tries to forge or attack the digital signatures used in the authentication component, the nub loses its encryption keys, making the system unable to communicate, he said."

""It's not impossible [to crack]," but it would likely have to be done one machine at a time and in hardware, rather than software, Reynolds said."


Looks as if the console mod chip makers will be looking forward to this then! :-D
