Still using Common Scrambling Algorithm
CSA3 will not be implemented until SD is fully de-activated which is meant to fully happen by 2024 ,
The two way connection [ ICAM software ] will be backed up by OTA updates to customers via specified Transponder [ EMM ]and card is verified by being in its paired box and box key AND ETHERNET CONNECTION Which is not yet fully implemented but when it is i would say it'll be next to impossible to break Nd$ [ near impossible as it is
:mecry: ]
i noticed a friend lost his card entitlements tried to put his card in a different HD Box as Sky no longer issue EMM Updates to SD Boxes and card failed to work ...so my friend had to access his box key via on screen menu and was told to goto sky promo feed channel and wait for new card activation and EPG they pretty much did not want to do this without Ethernet being connected but after threatening to leave they had little choice , then a new pin code was also requested on screen and card activated after 45mins ,
its quite a tight security loop they got going on now @ SKY TV HQ ...but i agree its amazing something has not been broken as yet because their boxes are all slow cheap utter pi$h its hard to believe they can maintain such advanced security measures compared with what we all use nowadays ,lol's !!
