Default TPS Algo - Rumour

This might be rubbish, and the source is ultimately unknown.

It's a poor translation, but you get the idea I think.

Quote:
tps changed its algorythm today After the conflict between t*s and Canal more, which lasted more than 15 days between these groups and the experts of services, T * S.A. decided to apply its own single system to t*s and m*lt*v*s ** N. This choice was decided following a proposal for three (3) methods of security among which figure method OF (slightly modified by Canadian engineers, assisted by specialists technical French and two assistants).
This decision was made for several reasons: very of accesses, T * desired S.A. to hold its own single system not shared and this, for especially sedentary reasons (compared to the other groups). Then, that will make it possible to reduce the possibility of hacking on Internet bus with this new system, 5 people only know the secrecy (instead of 30 according to the old one system). Lastly, this choice will also allow a double control of cl*s of access thanks to a system of renewal of season tickets over several periods during the year (3 months, 6 months and 12 months). On each chart is reproduced a starting code (the 1st check code of validity) and a code of arrival (it is the identifying code of the type of access).
As for the technical questions about this new procedure, no information was given. One is unaware of for the moment the exact difference which exists between the old one and the new system.
Concerning the business of the settings in residence addressed to specialists Maghrebians of decoding (in particular Algerian Mekkisoft and the Simoh Morrocan), following the publication on Internet of the algorithm of decoding of the access codes, one of the persons in charge for the group T * answered S.A. that piracy existed years since and will always exist. I know that it is impossible to develop one system made safe with 100% bus it is about a secrecy made up of 2 unknown factors: the 1st unknown factor relates to the algorithm (or procedure) which is not easy besides to find. The 2nd unknown factor it is the identification of the access key (what enormously takes time and of patience). But I do not say that it is impossible, I would say rather than it is very difficult and very painful like research. But it is as even possible because nothing is impossible… As regards the conflict with channel more, one representative legal affirms that this business is closed. All the steps were made so that t*s becomes an independent group. TF1 and M6 do not go can be not to follow this system but certain French chains will certainly be diffused in light but it is only one assumption because nothing is yet official. One also speaks about the creation of 3 other French chains which will be diffused in light. (before 2007). Concerning the business of the wage increase of the personnel t*s, the financial person in charge specifies that: I do not know who invented this information because, to my knowledge, one promised forever a wage increase but a special premium granted with the personnel in a special and conditional case. This premium was not bound by the output undergone following the old system, that does not have anything to see, it is an internal question with t*s. D'ailleurs this premium was already versed to the personnel. Questioned on the specialists in numerical piracy, a data processing specialist of the group T * S.A. indicated that: majority of specialists in numerical piracy are known and recorded on computer on our level. We know all them information related to these specialists. But we record only truths specialists like Mekkisoft (Algeria), Simoh (Morocco), Amani (Lebanon), Arldino (Brazil), Shimri (Israel), Sirok (Finland), Cristopher (England) and Kumari (India). Those are them there the most frightening specialists on the planęte. But I also recognize that they are lights, truths geniuses.

Theres also stories going around that TPS are now changing the keys every 5 minutes or so.

Thuis surely is also the final nail in the coffin for TPSCrypt. Its certain to be jettisoned once the merger with Canal+ is complete

Yes, key changes every 5-8 mins.

I don't think it's game-over for TPS viewing by a long way yet. I also believe that the French government has stated that the two hardware decoding systems must continue, and the above text hints that TPS have rejected going down the hybrid route with Canal+ in favour of tweaking TPSCrypt again (which appears to be what they've implemented).

TPS always make showy press releases when they do this, and it usually results in an embarrassed shuffling of feet and staring at the floor a few days later. This may take much longer to circumvent, but I don't see it as dead and buried yet.
