As long as you dump the encrypted key, you can reliably trust that there will become a way to decrypt it later.

> In the event that a key is compromised and published online, or used widely in any way, that key is depreciated and all Blu-ray’s from that point onward contain keys that cannot be decrypted with the compromised hardware key.

If someone merely provides a title key decryption API, is there any way to figure out which device key they're using?




Wow I had not actually thought of that. Hosting that service would cost money, unlike releasing keys on pastebin, and any attempt to do something like this, especially if monetized, would meet considerable retaliation from Blu-ray people. So I guess that’s why you don’t see it.

Getting keys from your hardware is a hassle and I didn’t want to wait for a decryption solution later.


Would that service really take more than a raspberry pi on tor?


Hmm... web/bittorrent over tor, with update file references. Just have the swarm on a given directory, update to the latest "full" swarm every day/release with the same directory for the keys available.


Yeah (DoS factor).
