The ICAM software is a 2 way encryption system opposed to the current "N-D-S Encryption". Sky Italia and SKY UK introduced this 2 way system ...6 YEARS AGO... and from what we understand has proved 100% effective in stopping illegal Card sharing or IKS [ Internet Key Sharing ] ,
This is what happened when the Card Sharing/IKS HD ended and iCAM encryption was quickly implemented back in 2013 .

This new iCAM encryption has yet to be broken since the HD blackout 6 years ago and somehow they have managed to roll it out to some SD channel while keeping SD set top boxes working but this is being currently gradually phased out as we speak .

There must be a redundancy function coded in somewhere for the event of the two way connection going down. I think this is where it will get broken if it ever gets done. Are they still using csa or have they started using csa3 now? if csa3, then probably no chance of anything ever happening.

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 :eek: :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 !! :D

Ok, the coutermeasure used form sky italy and sky uk is the same, is it?
Anyway dw is always the same, and if algorithm is always CSA what is the problem?

Yes the countermeasures and the same in IT and UK.
What is the problem? Nobody has managed to extract the icam algorithm which further encrypts cw’s.
And nobody (publicly) has managed to find a way of extracting CPU keys from BCM processors which are used for pairing cards.

so it is different algorithm than csa?
It is weird

I found a few on Ebay but one guy has 1 feedback as a seller, the other has 2. I wouldn't risk it.

You cant have icone boxes via distributors
Prix Europe
Icone wegoo 4k = 80$
Icone iron 4k = 95$
Icone iron plus 4k Android = 130$
Icone iron pro 4k = 140$
Not to fall into the trap of theft and looting.
