I was referring to the key with which the WB is xor'ed in some cases in parse_ciff. Pretty simple, which was why I quoted "encryption".
It is pretty stupid of Nikon because it will, and have already been, cracked, so it is infact pointless.
Hard to believe it is not some kind of marketing decission to help increase sales of Nikons own sofware.
It is also fun to see how Nikon now advocates a new firmware version for Nikon D70, which gives it some of the features of the new D70s, among which is most likely the new encrypted WB;-)

I totally agree that what Nikon is doing is stupid, but it is not much different from what other manufacturers have been doing.
As far as I know, Canon is also doing some kind of encryption of the WB in some of its cameras, which can be seen in the dcraw source code.
What other digital camera manufacturers have documented their RAW file format?

Adobe has previously been having a similar problem with the Fuji WB's as it can been seen here, taken from the following thread on usenet:
