Certified Files are the most common encrypted files on SCE PlayStation devices since PSP.

Header

typedef struct { // Size is 0x20 for v2, 0x30 for v3
  uint32_t magic;
  uint32_t version;
  uint16_t attribute;
  uint16_t category;

Table

field offset type notes
Magic 0x0 u32 Must be "SCE\0".
Version 0x4 u32 2 for PS3, 3 for PSVita.
Attribute 0x8 u16 Corresponds to the revision of the decryption key. See key_revision.
Category 0xA u16 See Category.
Extended Header size 0xC u32 For SELF category only, 0 for other categories. See Extended Header.
File offset 0x10 u64 Offset to encapsulated data.
File size 0x18 u64 Size of the encapsulated data.
CF file size 0x20 u64 Size of the CF file. Present on version 3 only.
unknown 0x28 u64 Maybe padding. Set to 0. Present on version 3 only.

Category

Value Type Name Remark
1 SELF signed-elf Used for storing ELF and PRX
2 SRVK signed-revoke-list Used for Revokation
3 SPKG signed-package Used for System Software Packages
4 SPP security-policy-profile The only file of this category is Default.spp on PS3

Decryption

Certified Files are all encrypted using the exact same algorithm. SELF are hashed and signed (signature is RSA based at the very least since firmware 0.940). This section only focuses on the encryption layer itself.

  • Step 1: Get SELF metadata decryption key and IV

Get a static key and IV contained within the relevant Secure Module. For example Update Package keys are located in update_service_sm.self, kernel PRX keys are located in kprx_auth_sm.self, Secure Modules (SM) as well as kernel_boot_loader.self, are located in secure_kernel.enp).

Decrypt the first 0x40 bytes of the SELF metadata using AES256CBC.

This results into the key and IV used in step 2

  • Step 2: Get plain SELF metadata

Use the key and IV decrypted from the first 0x40 bytes of the SELF metadata to decrypt the rest of the SELF metadata using AES128-CBC.

  • Step 3: Parse SELF metadata

The SELF metadata is typically stored in this format (below is the metadata example for a 4 sections self): The SPKG metadata follows the same principles but is slightly different (different MAGIC/Header).
