Hey.
I just wondered whether anyone here ever stumbled over some open source implementation of a verifier for the hashsums in the Content Hash Table of BluRays?
MakeMKV does it when it makes a copy, but I'd like to have a standalone tool (e.g. for just checking the medium or verifying an image dump of the BluRay).
The algorithm is explained in https://aacsla.com/wp-content/uploads/2 ... ed.921.pdf on page 22, ff..
Shouldn't be too hard to implement, but I figured why re-inventing the wheel, if one could be lazy instead.
Thanks,
Jemima

Re: any open BD Content Hash Table verifier?
There's one little caveat which might explain why no such tool exists yet. From page 10 of that document:
Maybe such a tool would somehow need to redo the re-encryption in order to be useful, but that's a whole can of worms in itself if someone had to start from scratch.
That means the content hash table is practically worthless if a backup (of an encrypted disc) is already decrypted.If the data is encrypted, the encrypted data itself is used as an input to the hashing function, so that the player needs not to decrypt the data before calculating a hash value.
