That would be protocols. Don't believe a Usenet claim. Always
research all hearsay yourself.

Satellite uplink encoders, and set top receiver/decoders:

VideoCypher, the first satellite encryption std in wide use only got
beat because decoder chips were being sold out the back door of the
chip maker. Almost at a greater rate than the front door.

DigiCypher I and DigiCypher II had interesting features incorporated
into the encoded data such as false keys. These two types haven't
been broken yet. The HDTV encoders are pretty cool too, I'm sure.

I'm sure that such things can be incorporated into disc now that
there is so much more room. You can bet it can be made very difficult
to beat. It all depends on how much they want to spend, *before*
settling on a standard.
