This paper discusses the hardware foundations of the cryptosystem employed by the Xbox TM video game console from Microsoft. A secret boot block overlay is buried within a system ASIC. This secret boot block decrypts and verifies portions of an external FLASH-type ROM. The presence of the secret boot block is camouflaged by a decoy boot block in the external ROM. The code contained within the secret boot block is transferred to the CPU in the clear over a set of high-speed busses where it can be extracted using simple custom hardware. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving the Xbox security system. One lesson of this study is that the use of a high-performance bus alone is not a sufficient security measure, given the advent of inexpensive, fast rapid prototyping services and high-performance FPGAs.

AGP Graphics cards:this document lists the most common and most tested cards.Th ere are other boards available from both ATI and Nvidia that work with Kona and Io (such as the Radeon 9800).However,caution should be excercised when buying the latest and most powerful cards since their drivers may be new and untested with Kona/Io or may put heavy demands (RAM/processor etc.)in the Mac.Any such system con gurations should be fully tested by the dealer/reseller before delivering to an AJA customer. 3 -Amount of RT:if flexible Io is what the customer really needs,then the Io is a better choice although it won’t deliver as much RT as a Kona configuration.On the G5 dual 2GHz expect to see 5 to 6 streams of RT;on the G5 dual 2.5 expect to see 7 to 8 streams of RT (you will need to be in RT extreme mode for these high RT stream counts).
