The format itself is obviously not superior since it contains no info except a volumelabel and some kind of unknown hash which provides no way to identify a disc you own like the SHA-1 hash keydb uses. For all we know he can simply take the discid+vuk, encrypt them and then apply something similar to base64 encoding
