HOW IT ALL WORKS

Part I

This document began life as a discussion between another group member and myself, and grew into a FAQ sheet. I only wish myself that something like this FAQ had been around when I started trying to understand what was happening with all these keys. I hope some of you find it enlightening.

Terminology.

Management Keys

Every card has MKs, which are hard to decrypt due to DES. They never change, are different for each card, and are used to decrypt operational keys.
Operational Keys (Op-Keys)
Can be changed every few hours (Sex-View), days (SCT) or every month (Seca). These are encrypted using a method known as DES. Every card for a given provider has the same op key. Op keys are used to decrypt the CW.
