C/P from another sight.
When it comes to Nagravison, Nagravison 1 is still as mathematically secure as it was on the day it was first released. Mathematically Nagravison 3 isn't really that much different to Nagravison 2 which is only slightly different to Nagravison 1. Parts of the actual algorithm used have changed but it’s really cosmetic.
The ONLY reason N1 was broken was that NDS completely reverse engineered the card in their labs in Israel and then "leaked" information to a certain hacker who then used this to find the good old "Nipper" backdoor. But NDS and Christopher Tarnovsky got stung for R.E the Nagravison cards. In a massive court case, so its highly unlikely they will risk it again.
Nagravison 2 was only really cracked because Kudelski was lazy and re-used codes/techniques that they used in the Nagravison 1 card. That plus the fact there was a lot of money thrown at the card to have it reverse engineered in an Eastern European lab !
No encryption was ever broken. It’s simply that the card has coding bugs which allows things that it shouldn't.
Right now none are willing to pay the $ required to get N3 from a inside source considering they can sell IKS, but that may be changing when mpeg2 is completlly phased out and mpeg4 is the standard.
Right now no company wants to spend the cash making SD boxes work with a bin fix when they can sell all new HD boxes to recover what they will have to pay to get someone to smugle the N3 out.
