After the recent breaking of copy protections on Blu-ray and HD-DVD media, Sony announced a new encryption mechanism known as "CLEFIA," a block cipher algorithm designed to help content producers deliver "advanced copy protection" with their products.
According to the news published at ars technica, Sony claims that the new encryption is much more difficult to break, and it will be soon implemented in hardware to protect commercial products like music, images, or even video.
I wonder if this means that who already bought a (not really cheap) Blu-ray player will be forced to buy a new one because of the new DRM chip that will be embedded in players...
