Decryption process

Crypto engine

ScePfsMgr heavily uses crypto API from SceSblSsMgrForDriver.

There is a separate thread in ScePfsMgr that is called ScePfsCryptEngineThread.

Almost all calls to the crypto API are done from this single thread.

ScePfsMgr uses a crypto task dispatch mechanism based on mutexes and conditions.

It uses a CryptEngineWorkCtx structure for dispatching the task.

Pointer to that structure is written at offset 0x158 of data section (this needs confirmation).

For dispatching the task ScePfsMgr uses subroutine located at offset 0xBD88.

When task is dispatched ScePfsCryptEngineTodoMtx mutex is locked, ScePfsCryptEngineTodoCnd condition is signaled, ScePfsCryptEngineTodoMtx is unlocked.

For waiting till task is completed ScePfsMgr uses subroutine located at offset 0xBEA0.

Then ScePfsCryptEngineDoneMtx mutex is locked, wait happens on ScePfsCryptEngineDoneCnd condition, ScePfsCryptEngineDoneMtx mutex is unlocked.

Meanwhile ScePfsCryptEngineThread runs.

It locks ScePfsCryptEngineTodoMtx mutex, waits for ScePfsCryptEngineTodoCnd condition, unlocks ScePfsCryptEngineTodoMtx mutex.

When task is finished ScePfsCryptEngineThread locks ScePfsCryptEngineDoneCnd mutex, signals ScePfsCryptEngineDoneCnd to specific thread, unlocks ScePfsCryptEngineDoneCnd mutex.

Thread id for signaling ScePfsCryptEngineDoneCnd is stored in CryptEngineWorkCtx.

VFS node functions

Dispatching mechanism is used only by VFS node functions.

Nodes that are used:

• PFS_GDSD_INF
• PFS_AC_INF

Node functions that are used:

• 5 - sceIoReadForDriver
• 6 - sceIoWriteForDriver
• 16 - sceIoChstatForDriver
• 19 - sceIoPreadForDriver
• 20 - sceIoPwriteForDriver
• 26 - sceIoChstatByFdForDriver
