I do not believe n3 is a totally new encryption. Kudelsky and company did not have the time or resourses(money) to write a new encryption. He was in big trouble when the europians cracked N2 as he had been paid millions of dollars for the N2. The satellite providers using N2 were not happy. He then reworked N2 as much as he could(map 54) for the satellite company's to stop pirating . When this did not work he reworked N2 again, but the new N2, now called N3 required new cards to deal with his new routines. This was a huge cost to sat providers. The bottum line is that it is still N2 with changes. I believe it will be eventually cracked again and at that point the providers will look to a new encryption process which will be very expensive for them. This is just my opinion.
