		Videocrypt can be used in a number of applications other than tv signals protection.
		Videocrypt transposes the frequencies transmitted and this in turn removed distortion of the sound.
		The same seed is therefore produced, and a similar PRBS reproduces the same cut points, allowing the decoder to cut the lines in the same place as the encoder and reconstitute the picture..........Imperative to the security of the system is that the starting number is "hidden" from view.

	A basic introduction to VideoCrypt
		It has been said that VideoCrypt was cobbled together in a weekend by two Unix hackers who barely understood crypto.
		Of course the fact that the program in the 8052 could be read and examined meant that the whole card to secure processor interface could be monitored and where necessary the data could be modified.
		On same of the later versions of VideoCrypt decoders this part is labelled TCE mV-2.

		Requirements Videocrypt is a multi-standard encryption system which is suitable for PAL, NTSC and SECAM transmissions.
		VideoCrypt suffered its first real disaster when someone discovered that by limiting the programming voltage to the card, it was possible to stop the card being switched off.
		As VideoCrypt will be going to a tiered channel structure in the Autumn, it would seem that they have planned an Autumn update.

		Videocrypt is a pay TV scrambling system jointly developed by Thomson Consumer Electronics and News Datacom [5,9..12].
		Videocrypt is a multi-standard encryption system which is suitable for PAL, NTSC and SECAM transmissions.
		Videocrypt was hacked in fifteen seconds because it contained a fundamental flaw that was common to most smart card based systems designed in the 1980s.

		Continental Television, the owners of the channel, have been saying for some time now that they will change their scrambling system in early 1993, although from previous information it was expected that the Cryptovision system would be used.
		Videocrypt decoders are widely available in the UK, being the scrambling system used by Sky.
		As the majority of UK satellite viewers own Videocrypt decoders, Videocrypt cards to watch the channel could be posted to subscribers from elsewhere in Europe - thus there would be no actual decoders for the channel being sold to be banned.

		The easiest way to connect your PC to a Videocrypt pay-TV decoder is to use the card slot as an interface and connect it with a voltage converter (MAX232) and a TTL open collector driver (74LS07) to the RS-232 serial port.
		The chip cards used by the Videocrypt pay-TV system follow exactly the specification ISO 7816 (you might find this international standard in a good library, if you are interested in more details).
		Videocrypt uses the inverse convention data format, i.e., you have to reverse and invert the bits in each byte in the PC software in order to get the correct byte value.

		The same channel may be encrypted by both methods at the same time, thus the channels available both in the UK and the continent (Discovery, TCC etc.) use both VC I and VC II.
		This is due to the small audience they serve and the substantial cost of adopting VideoCrypt II which also has subscription management deals bundled in with it.
		Videocrypt encodes the TV image by cutting each line of the image in two pieces at some cut point and then exchanges these two line fragments in the broadcasted pictures.

		Whereas before it was a question of returning the card and waiting perhaps a few days, pirate users will now be able to walk in to a dealers and have the card updated on the spot.
		It is not the same type of VideoCrypt as that currently in operation on the Sky Multichannels.
		The VideoCrypt datastream is robust in that it has a very slow data rate.

		The UVSD processor apparently also has an unfortunate side-effect of decoding any Videocrypt signal - their literature is keen to point out this side effect, advising that purchasers of this unit should continue to pay their subscriptions as normal, as not to do so would be illegal.
		The Videocrypt processor would fall foul of the Copyrights, Designs and Patents Act of 1988 which makes it an offence to sell, buy or use a device designed to receive a scrambled UK-originated satellite service without due payment.
		Active Logic is clearly going for the "legitimate use" angle for their UVSD, although it would seem that the "unexpected" de-scrambling of Videocrypt channels, of which the majority are uplinked from the UK, is ancillary to the legitimate use - and is therefore illegal.

		VideoCrypt 1 and VideoCrypt 2 are good examples of this variants concept.
		VideoCrypt 2 has not been much of a target as there is not enough premium programming available to warrant a hack.
		JSTV is the only broadcaster that broadcasts Europe wide using VideoCrypt I. This channel differs from the standard in that it is a very high fee channel but it is also very much a minority interest channel since it broadcasts programmes for the Ex-pat Japanese market.

		Of course the manufacturers of the security microprocessors which are used in the VideoCrypt cards work hard on making this attack as difficult and expensive as possible and with each card generation they are getting better and hacking the cards becomes more difficult and expensive.
		Yes, there is! The technique is known as delayed data transfer and this is one of the security problems of VideoCrypt from which the system can not recover easily by a card exchange.
		It works as follows: Someone with a genuine card records the data exchanged between the card and the decoder during the time when a very popular show is broadcasted.
