I'm wondering just what their requirements would be for a device like
this. When you are dealing with PCI(e) card based system, it's a bit
easier to lock down. I'm wondering, though, how this is done over a
network. How are the encryption/decryption keys exchanged? Does Win7
send a certificate+public key to the cable card, and the cable card
then confirm the validity (and non-revoked status) with an external
sever before sending the data?
