Depending on the Secure Modules that is currently loaded, different commands are handled.

Request Buffer

Each request that is made sends a page aligned buffer that has a max size of a page. After as 64 byte header common to all commands, the data afterwards is specific to each command. The documentation for each command below specifies the data that goes after the header. The special command id of -1 (0xFFFFFFFF) is used to stop the current loaded Secure Module.

Command buffer structure (as seen on FWs 3.600.011-3.740.011):

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Size of the structure (header + data)
0x4 0x4 Command ID
0x8 0x4 Command return value is written here by the SM
0xC 0x4 unk2
0x10 0x30 padding
0x40 variable, chosen by NS Kernel, max=0x1000-0x40 data buffer

On FW 0.931, and maybe in later prototype FWs, the data buffer is located at offset 0x10 instead of 0x40. Thus we can wonder why has been added the 0x30 bytes padding.

Physical Address Vector

A common format used in these requests is the Physical Address Vector which is a list of Physical Address Ranges. The simple structure of Physical Address Range is defined below. See sceKernelVARangeToPARangeForDriver for information on creating this vector.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Physical Address
0x4 0x4 Size

This data format is used when passing large buffers of data to CMeP. The reason is that the memory manager in kernel could allocate contiguous virtual addresses that corresponds to varying physical addresses.

kprx_auth_sm.self

Kprx auth sm is a special SM stored in the SLB2 partition. The raw (encrypted) SELF is stored in ARM TrustZone memory. It is placed there by an early bootloader.

kprx_auth_sm is used to decrypt SELF and SPSFO files for ARM. The CF header is passed into a page aligned buffer and a PA vector is generated from it.

0x10001 - sceSblAuthMgrAuthHeader

Used by sceSblAuthMgrAuthHeaderForKernel.

Checks the SELF header for decryption. The header is copied to the cmep private memory region first (on FW 1.69 with 0x1000 sized header, it is at 0x00811CC0 in cmep memory space.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x130 SceSblSmCommContext130
0x130 0x4 Number of PA vector entries for buffer
0x134 0x4 Physical address of PA vector

0x20001 - sceSblAuthMgrSetupAuthSegment

Used by sceSblAuthMgrSetupAuthSegmentForKernel.

Set the program segment to decrypt. This corresponds to the segment index in the ELF program headers in the SELF header passed in with the command above.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Segment number
0x4 0x4 Return value. 1 if not compressed, 2 if compressed.
0x8 0x8 Unknown

0x30001 - sceSblAuthMgrLoadBlock

Used by sceSblAuthMgrAuthSegmentForKernel.

Decrypt a buffer from the SELF corresponding to the program segment number passed in above. The segment is read in 0x10000 bytes chunks and is decrypted in place (the input buffer will contain the decrypted data). A PA vector is generated from the buffer. The input buffer and output buffer can be the same.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Number of entries in input PA vector
0x4 0x4 Physical address of the input PA vector
0x8 0x4 Number of entries in output PA vector
0xC 0x4 Physical address of the output PA vector

0x40001 - sceSblAuthMgrGetEKc

Decrypts provided buffer in AES ECB mode using one of three keys (NPDRM keys ?).

Used by sceSblAuthMgrGetEKcForDriver for getting klicensee.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x100 Data Buffer
0x100 0x4 Data Size. Max value is 0x100.
0x104 0x4 Key ID. Must be 0, 1 or 2.
0x108 0x4 Set to 0
0x10C 0x4 Set to 0

0x50001 - sceSblAuthMgrSetDmac5Key

Used by sceSblAuthMgrSetDmac5KeyForKernel to set a key in DMAC5 keyring for decryption.

This SM function uses AES128ECB or AES128CBC and hardcoded AES keys and IVs to encrypt the provided key into the final DMAC5 key. Then it writes the final DMAC5 key into the chosen Dmac5 keyring.

Input/output size is 0x110 bytes. Buffer is untouched by the SM function as it makes an internal copy.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x20 Key. Key that will be encrypted with kprx_auth_sm hardcoded keys and written to DMAC5 keyring.
0x20 0xE0 Reserved.
0x100 0x4 Key size (in bytes). Usually 0x10 or 0x20 bytes. Not used in kprx_auth_sm function 0x60001 as it entirely clears selected 0x20 bytes DMAC5 keyring.
0x104 0x4 Mode. Affects both AES mode (ECB or CBC), AES key and IV and data size (0x10 or 0x20 bytes). Possible values: 0 (aes128ecb on 0x10 bytes), 0x10000 (aes128ecb on 0x10 bytes), 0x10001 (aes128ecb on 0x10 bytes, requires QA flag 0xF mask 1), 0x20000 (aes128cbc on 0x10 bytes), 0x20001 (aes128cbc on 0x20 bytes).
0x108 0x4 Destination DMAC5 Keyring ID. Possible values: 0-0x1A, 0x1C-0x1F. 0x1B is forbidden by kprx_auth_sm for unknown reason.
0x10C 0x4 Unused. Key size & 0xF. Should be 0.

0x60001 - sceSblAuthMgrClearDmac5Key

Used by sceSblAuthMgrClearDmac5KeyForKernel to clear the Dmac5 Key.

This function writes zeroes into the chosen DMAC5 keyring.

Input/output size is 0x110 bytes. Buffer is untouched by the SM function as it makes an internal copy.

It has exactly same structure as kprx_auth_sm function 0x50001 and is parsed in the same kprx_auth_sm subroutine function.

0x70001 - sceSblAuthMgrDecBindData

Used by sceSblAuthMgrDecBindDataForDriver and SceNpDrm for gamecard binding data used in conjunction with the RIF license file on the gamecard for deriving the klicensee.

Input/output size is 0x18 bytes. Buffer is untouched by the SM function as it makes an internal copy, however encrypted bind data at specified physical address will be decrypted after SM function execution.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x8 Bind data PA Range. Must be 0x40-byte aligned and of maximum length 0x1000 bytes.
0x8 0x8 Seed PA Range. Must be 0x40-byte aligned and of maximum length 0x1000 bytes.
0x10 0x4 HMAC-SHA256 Key revision. Only revision 0 is supported on FW 3.60.
0x14 0x4 Unknown. Must be zero on FW 3.60.

Algorithm:

  • Compute HMAC-SHA256 of seed. It gives a 0x20-byte digest.
  • First 0x10 bytes of the digest make the AES128CBC key and last 0x10 bytes make the AES128CBC IV.
  • AES128CBC decrypt bind data.

0x10006 - sceCompatSecLoadSCBootCode

Load Secure CPU Boot Code. PSP main CPU (Tachyon codename) is an Allegrex 32-bit little-endian RISC CPU with FPU and VFPU, 1 ~ 333MHz, MIPS III-based.

Called on init and before resume of PSP.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Boot/resume cookie. Pass 0 when cold booting, resume_handler ^ magic when resuming
0x4 0x4 Set to 0 (unused)

On FW 3.740.011 (simplified):

*(u32 *)SceSonyRegbus_e8000004 = 4;
syncm();
memcpy(SceCompatSharedSram_e8100000, g_pre_ipl, 0x1000);  // PRE-IPL
memcpy(SceCompatSharedSram_e8100fc0, g_challenge, 0x40);  // Challenge (IPL XOR key)
memcpy(SceCompatSharedSram_e8100fbc, &cookie, 4);         // Boot/resume cookie
syncm();
*(u32 *)SceSonyRegbus_e8000004 = 0;

If an error occurs during SCBootCode loading:

if (ret == 0) {
    // Success!!
}
syncm();
*(u32 *)SceSonyRegbus_e8000004 = 10;

spkg_verifier_sm_w_key_2.self

This is an extension of update_service_sm.self. It was added to introduce command sceSblUsSmAuthSpkgWithKey2. Compared to sceSblUsSmAuthSpkg, it works with less secure input, as these SPKG are directly obtained from internet and not unpacked from a signed PUP. Separating the modules and using different keys are security measures to avoid attacks even in case of reused AES keys or IVs for example.

It was added since System Software version 1.50.

0xE0002 - sceSblUsSmAuthSpkgWithKey2

Used to decrypt downloaded encrypted Launch Lists which are SPKG files with attribute 0x40. Same format as sceSblUsSmAuthSpkg.

update_service_sm.self

This is used by SceSblUpdateMgr to decrypt update packages extracted from PUP files.

Both 0x40002 and 0x50002 reference buffers in the following way: an inner PA vector is generated for the buffer containing the data to encrypt/decrypt, then an outer PA vector is generated for the inner list. That means that there are two levels of indirection in the PA vector.

Services with PA vectors to pass data to cmep decide whether to use normal vectors or deep vectors depending on the flag of the argument.

0x10002 - sceSblUsSmAuthPupHeader

SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_AUTH_PUP_HEADER.

Checks PUP header (with hash check).

Input data size: 0xFC0.

Input: PA vector of the PUP header including the PUP Hash (size: 0x80 + segment_num * 0x20 + segment_num * 0x40 + 0x20)

0x20002 - sceSblUsSmAuthPupSegment

SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_AUTH_PUP_SEGMENT.

Checks PUP segment HMAC-SHA256 hash.

Input data size: 0xFC0.

0x30002 - sceSblUsSmAuthPupWatermark

SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_AUTH_PUP_WM.

Checks PUP watermark.

Input data size: 0xFC0.

Input data: a packet embedding at least two physical addresses (?in a PA vector?): PUP Watermark (0x1000 bytes) and PUP Hash (0x20 bytes).

0x40002 - sceSblUsSmAuthSpkg

SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_AUTH_SPKG.

Decrypt a SPKG. Allocate a page aligned buffer and read the complete SPKG file into the buffer. The buffer is decrypted in place.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x8 Set to 0x0
0x8 0x8 Set to 0x1
0x10 0x14 struct paddr_list_req for PA vector below
0x24 0x14 struct paddr_list_req for pkg buffer
0x38 Variable (max 0xF88(0x1F1 entry)) Copy of PA vector for pkg buffer (contents described at 0x50)

0x50002 - sceSblUsSmEncryptIndividualSLSK

SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_ENCIND_SLSK.

Re-encrypt individual SLSK files (.enp files).

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x8 Unknown/Zero
0x8 0x8 Set to 1
0x10 0x14 struct paddr_list_req for PA vector copied to 0x78. Only count field is used.
0x24 0x14 struct paddr_list_req for inner PA vector. Not used.
0x38 Variable (max 0xF88(0x1F1 entry)) Outer PA vector. PA vector to PA vector to encrypt.

Each inner PA vector is first copied to temporary cmep memory, then they all are checked for validity at once. Maximum size of inner PA vector is 0xFF7 (so probably 0xFF7 / 8 * 8 = 0xFF0). Any higher length results in SCE_SBL_ERROR_SL_ENOMEM = 0x800F020C error.

How it works:

  • first, all inner entries are checked for validity, if something is invalid, bail out SCE_SBL_ERROR_SL_EINVAL 0x800f0216
  • start at last outer entry and move towards the first
  • if current entry looks valid (length >= 8), proceed to inner physical address encryption
  • if no valid entries found, error=SCE_SBL_ERROR_SL_EINVAL 0x800f0216
  • if multiple valid entries found, error=SCE_SBL_ERROR_SL_EIO 0x800f0205 (???) (but the first one found is always encrypted)
  • if only one valid entry is found, return success

Bugs(?):

  • encrypting same physical address twice or more times within a single inner PA vector always results in same output, no matter what input was, reproducible with length=0x10 or less
  • sum(inner list sizes) must be <= 0xFF0, but there is no overflow check, a large inner list causes cmep to overwrite memory with data like:
00:00:26	0 // this is physical address 0x1F000000

  • 3) sceSblSmCommCallFunc(id, 0xC0002, &response, data, 0x70);

0xD0002

Syscon update related. Usage is to proxy encrypted data cmep <=> Syscon.

Data size is 0x58 bytes.

typedef struct data { // Size is 0x58 bytes on FW 3.60
  int mode; // ex: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
  int unk_4; // Maybe unused
  char unk_8[0x28]; // input: syscon command 0xD2 output
  char unk_30[0x28]; // output: syscon command 0xD2 input
} data;

Usage:

  • 1) sceSblSmCommCallFunc(id, 0xD0002, &response, data, 0x58);

For modes 0, 1 and 3:

  • 2) memcpy(data + 8, data + 0x30, 0x28); SceSysconForDriver_4D03754A(data + 8, 0x28, data + 0x30, 0x28); // Calls Syscon command 0xD0.
  • 3) sceSblSmCommCallFunc(id, 0xD0002, &response, data, 0x58);

Mode:

  • 0 - Do init 0x28 buffer.
  • 1 - Do Bigmac unknown crypto with some blob.
  • 2 - Do Bigmac unknown crypto with some blob.
  • 3 - Do Bigmac unknown crypto with some blob.
  • 4 - Do some working. And reset Syscon ticket count with Bigmac PRNG (keyring 0x512).

mgkm_sm.self

Magic Gate Key Manager secure module.

Present on 0.931.010-3.740.011. Commands are almost the same on any FW, and only KEY_31_SEED varies.

These commands are used to set keys (as seen on FWs from 0.940 to 3.60) to DMAC5 registers in NS memory. These keys are used in to do encryption stuff with AES-ECB and TripleDES-ECB algorithms through DMAC5.

There are two keys working together: key 30 and key 31. Key 31 is hardcoded, whilst key 30 is per-console based on the OpenPsId, altough also padded with hardcoded data.

To encrypt some block, first decrypt using per-console key 30 then encrypt with key 31. Reversely, to decrypt some block, decrypt with key 31 then encrypt using per-console key 30.

On FW 0.940, commands 1 and 2 are only called by SceSblMgKeyMgr#SceSblMgKeyMgrForDriver_1C5388D0 which consists of:

int SceSblMgKeyMgrForDriver_1C5388D0(void *in, void *out) {
  int ret;
  uint8_t tmp_buffer[16];
  ret = call_cmd_1();
  if ((ret == 0) && (ret = call_cmd_2(), ret == 0)) {
    aesECBDec16B(in, tmp_buffer, 30);
    aesECBEnc16B(tmp_buffer, out, 31);
  }
  return ret;
}

0x1 - set_key_31

memset(buffer, 0, 0x20);
memcpy(buffer, KEY_31_SEED, 0x10);
bigmac_memcpy(0xE04E0000 + 31 * 0x20, buffer, 0x20);

0x2 - set_key_30

memset(buffer, 0, 0x20);
memcpy(buffer, pOpenPsId, 0x10);
memcpy(buffer + 0x10, KEY_30_SEED, 0x10);
bigmac_sha256(buffer, buffer, 0x20);
bigmac_memcpy(0xE04E0000 + 30 * 0x20, buffer, 0x20);

0x3 - unset_key_31

memset(buffer, 0, 0x20);
bigmac_memcpy(0xE04E0000 + 31 * 0x20, buffer, 0x20);

0x4 - unset_key_30

memset(buffer, 0, 0x20);
bigmac_memcpy(0xE04E0000 + 30 * 0x20, buffer, 0x20);
