Pubic key = piracy over.

Interesting to see a solution to Sony's piracy problem resolved in a Nintendo thread.

How is this "Sony's solution" though?
Public key cryptography has existed for many decades, and has been used in many devices to prevent piracy; and the particular implementation I described has never been used by Sony because it requires an interactive media format, and Blu-Ray is strictly passive.
In fact, if Nintendo implemented the solution I described they would be the first videogame company to use that scheme; but they would be far from the first company to use that scheme. The first time I heard of this scheme would have been about 15 years ago, and it was being proposed as part of a smart card solution for credit cards; it was essentially their solution to prevent people from being able to make a physical copy of someone else's smart card, and from what I remember it was rejected because (at the time) the on-card chip could only handle 48bit encryption.
