Team CW Update
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c/p

Team CWN3 has been working for the last four months on a solution to the latest problem. After that time testing has presented some challenges, and a stable solution has not been reached. The realistic approach indicates that a working solution could be reached in the next three months but nothing is guarantee. The working solution is expected to work on CW800 and CW4000 models. Recent changes in the N3 stream need to be researched. N3 does not use the same lineal encryption pattern found in N1 and N2, it uses an adaptable encryption pattern. Our research finds that N3 could use up to 64 encryption variations depending on what key is valid. Some encryption mechanisms are built in the N3 system, while others combine different encryption variations. The following the research limitations our team faces: 1) creating a mechanism that decrypts all encryption variations of the algorithm found on N3, 2) provide a software solution that is stable, current testing solution only works 15 minutes out of every 6 hours on average tested on CW800 and CW4000 models. Those aspects have contributed in the release of an IKS solution for the CW4000 model which will be released in early November. We have been testing the IKS solution for the last two months and it has not been compromised. Some additional updates need to be included on the software before is released, so be patient."

Another company that will be going the IKS route. I think this is telling to all that are waiting for a standalone file. Don't expect it anytime soon and even if a company figures out N3, they will be using IKS to send out the keys if they are already up and running with IKS. I don't think they would just post the solution so everybody could copy their work!

Thanks Kinger, actually this one sounds a little more knowledgable than the usual rumours. All will be revealed methinks.
