Exactly what is says. It is a public pgp key.

pgp=Pretty Good Privacy; a public-key encryption application for exchanging files or messages with confidentiality and authentication

I heard on the radio , before the iPod was released that it was already cracked . But they said that they were expecting that the generated sales would surpass the cracked .

I rather think it's amazing that the authors of various devices or formats think they can protect them. The simple truth is that "If it plays, it can be broken; if it runs, it can be cracked".
