Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D

crimeandpunishment writes "Nintendo says when its new handheld game device with 3-D technology comes out, it will have beefed-up anti-piracy measures. For obvious reasons, the company is keeping tight-lipped on the specifics. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata says they're not only concerned about software piracy, but also a growing tolerance for it. He said, 'We fear a kind of thinking is become widespread that paying for software is meaningless.'"

Sigh ...

You do realize that encryption is nothing but security through obscurity ... right? As is every form of digital signature. While both are based on mathmatical concepts, the security of the system results from the fact that they 'key' is obscure enough that only the valid user(s) know it and no one else can guess it.

By your definition, there is no secure authentication system because every authentication system requires some obscure piece of knowledge (or physical device) that is unique to the owner. Authentication in every form in use today is security through obscurity.

So you're saying that AES, RSA, DSA, PGP, IDEA, and every other encryption, hashing and keying algorithm on the planet isn't secure?

Sigh, stop spouting something you heard someone else somewhere say and acting like you know what you're talking about.

Obscurity IS security in the digital world.
