 Video crypto standard cracked?
Niels Ferguson announced last weekend that he has successfully defeated the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) specification, an encryption and authentication system for the DVI interface used to connect digital cameras, high-definition televisions, cable boxes and video disks players.
Ferguson says he has contacted Intel and informed the company of his HDCP findings, but added that he declined to email the results to the U.S., because he is not sure of the legal risks.
Ferguson notes that the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) used the DMCA to pressure Princeton professor Ed Felten to withhold his research on audio watermarking technology.

 Wired News: Dutch Cryptographer Cries Foul
As Robin Gross, the EFF intellectual property lawyer with whom Ferguson has consulted, put it early this week in a statement: "The recording industry has done untold damage by their threats to Felten and the other researchers, their universities, and the conference organizers.
For Ferguson, then, the enemy is not Intel, but a vague legal act that disrupts the free flow of information worldwide.
As Ferguson explained Wednesday in a new posting at his website, he was left little choice but to "censor" himself, even though sharing information is an essential part of his work as a professional cryptographer.

Robert Bruen's review of "Practical Cryptography", by Niels Ferguson and Bruce Schneier, IEEE Cipher E54, June 7, 2003
Ferguson and Schneier make a point in the book in several places about the problems created by Applied Cryptography and those expected to be generated by this book.
Cryptography in general is difficult, these two books, and others, make cryptography more accessible to the non-professionals, but often readers believe that after reading them they know all there is to know.

 Intel backed video encryption standard is ‘fatally flawed’ | The Register
Niels Ferguson believes he could be prosecuted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) so he has held off publishing his findings which suggest flaws with the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) system.
Ferguson, who travels periodically to the States on business, told The Register that lawyers from the Electronic Frontier Foundation advised him he might still be liable to prosecution even if he published a paper in Holland.
Ferguson says the scheme is "fatally flawed" and he is not alone in his criticism.

Schneier and coauthor Niels Ferguson correct these shortcomings in Practical Cryptography.
Schneier and Ferguson approach cryptography from a down-and-dirty engineering level, working from the basic requirement that a good system should provide--at a minimum--a 128-bit security level.
Rather than bewildering readers with a smorgasbord of algorithms, protocols and techniques, Schneier and Ferguson present a few robust, versatile solutions in each category.

Bruce and Niels hard-won experience of implementing cryptography shines through as they discuss not only different ways of implementing systems but take the reader through their reasoning for why one is more favourable than another.
In general, Ferguson and Schneier's rather didactic approach works here, though occasionally I was left wishing for more detail.
This book would most suit a programmer without much previous experience of cryptography, who needs to gain a working knowledge of cryptography without needing to wade through too much theory.
