The format developed by Sony is not limited to only one protection, but it account three: the AACS (as on the HD-DVD), the ROMANIAN Mark and the BD+.
The ROMANIAN Mark, is a numerical invisible signature for the consumer, that only has the certified production machine tools BD-ROM will be able to produce. The ROMANIAN should mainly prevent the mass copy .

Thanks to the BD+, the Blu-ray hardware could be reprogrammed remotely to a platinum Hack which would seek to decontaminate the protections integrated into the format. The BDA (Blu-ray Alliance) affirms that only the modified machines will be reprogrammed, via Internet or reading of a recent BD-ROM which will require the update to be installed in order function.
The firm CRY (Cryptography Research Inc) which took part in the development of protection BD+, during the publication of BackupHDDVD, insisted on the fact that the Blu-ray format was far from to have lost in the war vs pirates.…
