This was the handshake. The "C:" line was a key to his own front door. By giving Ghost this code, Dimitri was allowing the stranger to borrow his valid German subscription card. In return, Ghost would send back a "N:" line, granting Dimitri access to the Bulgarian channels.

The air in Dimitri’s apartment was thick with the smell of burnt coffee and solder. He wasn't a thief, not in the traditional sense. He was a cardsharer , a digital locksmith plying his trade on the ruthless highways of satellite television.
