My thought is, can cryptosystems be broken? Not by 31337 h4x0rs, obviously.
with time each, but not the general crypto "philosophy" ?
cert on your DRM you must put cert and private keys on your DRM chip ...
Not you -- somebody else. Generated on board, probably, or generated externally, and loaded into the hardware.
yes, with "you" I meen "you being an hardware maker"
Why do you think a system designed to contain and keep a secret will contain a convenient backdoor?
not a backdoor, we forget to much that every system is only 1 and 0 through electricity and physical circuits. If you can make them you can watch them (with time and monney i agree). Perhaps thinking that datas (certs, instructions) can be "hidden" behind a physical thing is only a dream ? I ask myself if not every cryptosystem where you must have something "hidden" or "physically not accessible" in point of the process is not sure ? -- "Perhaps one day "computer science" will, like Yugoslavia, get broken up into its component parts. That might be a good thing. Especially if it meant independence for my native land, hacking." (hackers and Painters) [ Paul Graham ]
