Subject:        	CSS broken

Monday sourcecode for the CSS algorithm was released
through an anonymous remailer. CSS is the encryption algoritm
used on DVD movies, and it was supected that it was weak
beyond just having a 40 bit key. Yesterday I found it to
be vulnerable to a trivial 2^16 attack with as little
as 6 bytes of known plaintext.

I posted the details on:
