When I registered in this forum, I was confident that I could catch up with the tech details—a confidence that rested on my experience in analogue electronics and more than a decade of experience with computers. I did make some progress, no doubt. However, when I read yesterday some sort of a primer on Matrix Reloaded, I was thoroughly confused. Please tell me whether I am right with regard to the following:
I would also be grateful if I could be directed to articles or pdf files that tell me all.
Thanks.
PS: why is it that one cannot get into the toecutters den even after registering?
- CAMs are not just dumb hardware; they have microprocessors and an Eprom and/or a RAM that can be programmed.
- Non-proprietary CAMs such as MR can work without the need of a smart card.
- Smart Cards carry Keys and these keys can be directly fed into CAMs such as MR.
- CAMs can be connected to a PC and programmed.
- CAMs are continuously antiquated as encryption aficionados outsmart them.
- A CAS interface is a devise that allows one to programme CAMs without the need of a PC.
- There are CAMs that have slot for the smart card, while others are inserted into receivers that have separate slots for smart cards.
- The average functional age of third-party CAM (such as MR) is approximately 1-11/2 years.
- Non-proprietary CAMs such as MR may not decrypt all encryption modes. They can, however, be programmed to do so—i.e., my MR may not recognize Conax, but I can make it do so.
I would also be grateful if I could be directed to articles or pdf files that tell me all.
Thanks.
