Yup. Plus we already know from the Magic Gate references that Sony
have a chip that can handle challenge-response stuff, key exchange
and data encryption... No reason why they couldn't have integrated
something similar onto the large system controller chip in NetMD
devices (there doesn't appear to be a discrete MagicGate chip in the
block diagrams I've seen... but then the USB "plugs" pretty much
directly into the system controller).
