I understand that public key encryption would be impossible to break by "reverse engineering techniques",
but (correct me if I'm wrong here) don't such encryption systems use a private key too? 

And if so, can an "original" private key (used by and Apple iTunes 7 client) be somehow obtained?
Perhaps by listening to conversations between two iTunes players?

And if we get that kind of key, can rythmbox/banshee use it to connect to iTunes 7+ servers?
If any portion of what I've said is an impossibility, please do tell me.
