Control word and key schedule โ€” the 8-byte key and its derivations.

DVB-CSA2 keys the block cipher and stream cipher from the same 8-byte control word:

  • Block key schedule (expand_block): produces 56 round-key bytes via the KPERM permutation.
  • Stream cipher seed (expand_stream): produces a nibble-swapped copy of the control word for LFSR initialization.
