Nagra 1 used two 8 byte keys for a video decryption algorithm called DES (Data Encryption Standard). Most testers called these Key0 and Key1.
Nagra 2 uses two 16 byte keys for a video decryption algorithm called IDEA (International Data Encryption Algorithm). I suggest we call these keys IKey0 and IKey1.

Current Nagra 2 Keys for Dish:

IKey0= F29874441C6577D817E3E11D894E5345
IKey1 =3D731922275DC2C997965A0CA57927F9 (active)

Current Nagra 2 Keys for Bev:

IAux0 = 0A645E6002A8B718BF0F2BD7D61819F0 (active)
IAux1 = AEC9B3026A2A2DA20E5EF4E2FA138F7F

Some uneducated people are incorrectly breaking down IKey0 into Key0 and Key1 like this:

Key0 = F29874441C6577D8
Key1 = 17E3E11D894E5345

This notation is simply wrong. You cannot represent keys from the IDEA algorithm with the same format as the keys from the DES algorithm. Like everyone knows, apples and oranges don't compare. I ask that all moderators and testers stick to the accepted way of posting the keys and stop confusing the masses!
