Hehehe... I was just sitting here thinking, reading the Verizon SIII thread on the XDA seeing if they cracked the encryption on the thing. Going all the way back to the DX motorola has been using an encrypted boot loader.

Going back a bit more to blu ray disc and HDCP encryption. You know the self generating keys that where said to be uncrackable? Well, eventually the protection scheme got cracked, and posted on line (shortly thereafter a cease and desist letter followed).

Kind of makes me wonder how something like the HDCP encryption can be cracked but yet a 2+ year old phones boot loader cannot. I guess part of the reason is, a hardware intercept was used, I guess its much easier and cheaper to open up a 2-300 dollar blu ray player and tinker with it, then say, a cell phone where the carriers can watch you.

Kind of a pointless post, I guess, I just found it ironic that something said to be uncrackable was cracked a relatively short time and an old phone still remains locked tight.

I was wondering about tethering. Does native not get reported to Verizon? Or do you have to get an app to run along with it?

According to post #3 in the Rootzwiki thread, the tethering does NOT get reported to Verizon. And there is no other app needed... just set it up with the SSID and password of your choice, turn it on and connect to it :D
