dsgrue3 said: I think these guys are blowing smoke. Especially about he "m" supposed to be a random number. It's trivial to produce random numbers in C and most other languages. There is no doubt it my mind if Sony intended to have "m" a random number they would do so. These guys are just trying to talk bad about Sony because they love talking down everyone. |
the 'm' value is meant to be a random number or nonce value because that is how encryption works. By using a non random number (either an array of numbers to 'fake' randomness, or a constant) you are no longer encrypting your key, only encoding it. (which allows anyone to see it)
