Secure Modules Functions

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 is used to stop the current loaded Secure Module.

Command buffer structure (as seen on FWs 3.60-3.73):

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.

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
This 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  in cmep memory space.

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.

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  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.

0x40001 - sceSblAuthMgrGetEKc
Decrypts provided buffer in AES ECB mode using one of three keys (NPDRM keys ?).

Used by sceSblAuthMgrGetEKcForDriver for getting klicensee.

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.

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.

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.

0x80001 - sceSblAuthMgrVerifySpsfo
Used by sceSblAuthMgrVerifySpsfoForDriver.

Called on init and before resume of PSP.

On FW 3.73 (simplified):

If an error occurs during SCBootCode loading:

The cookie, which represents the address where PRE-IPL will jump to when resuming, is passed by MIPS to ARM (written to ) just before suspending, and it is calculated the same way as on actual PSP, only that using   as input to the SHA1, instead of the MAC address.

0x20006 - sceCompatSecSetSSRAMAcl

0xE0002 - sceSblUsSmAuthSpkgWithKey2
Used to decrypt downloaded lists (SPKGs). Same format as 0x40002.

Lists URLS:

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.

0x50002 - sceSblUsSmEncryptIndividualSLSK
SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_ENCIND_SLSK.

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

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  error.

How it works:
 * first, all inner entries are checked for validity, if something is invalid, bail out
 * 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=
 * if multiple valid entries found, error= (???) (but the first one found is always encrypted)
 * if only one valid entry is found, return success

Bugs(?): 00:00:26	0 // this is physical address 0x1F000000 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	2000 00:00:26	8 00:00:26	812d40 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	1f000020 // this is physical address 0x1F00001C 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	2000 00:00:26	8 00:00:26	812d40 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	1f000040 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	2000 00:00:26	8 00:00:26	812d40 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	1f000060 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	2000 00:00:26	8 00:00:26	812d40 00:00:26	0 00:00:26	1f000080
 * 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:

0x60002 - sceSblUsSmSnvsEncryptSectors
SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_SNVS_ENC_SECTORS.

The input is plain SNVS sectors read from NVS.

Calculates a XTS encrypt using the per console keys in keyring 0x502, and 0x503 for the tweak and decryption keys. Appears to be intended for up to 0x3E0 bytes in size, but the (size in cmep packet + 4) derives the XTS size and memcpy.

The result is XTS encrypted SNVS sectors.

Data size is (8 bytes + sectors size).

0x70002 - sceSblUsSmSnvsDecryptSectors
SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_SNVS_DEC_SECTORS.

The input is XTS encrypted sectors.

Calculates a XTS decrypt using the per console keys in keyring 0x502, and 0x503 for the tweak and decryption keys. Appears to be intended for up to 0x3E0 in size, but the (size in cmep packet + 4) derives the XTS size and memcpy.

The result is plain sectors.

Data size is (8 bytes + sectors size).

0x80002 - sceSblUsSmSnvsEncryptMgmtData
SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_SNVS_ENC_MGMT.

The input are the new status and flags, and the current Mgmt Data sector read from NVS at offset 0.

Calculates a XTS decrypt using the per console keys in keyring 0x502, and 0x503 for the tweak and decryption keys. It then calculates an HMAC using the keyring 0x504 to check the block passed in. If ok, then it uses the seed 0xACA9B1AC to recalculate the block, generate a new hmac, and xts encrypt the block.

The result is a new Mgmt Data sector, which is to be written to NVS at offset 0.

Data size is 0x28 bytes.

0x90002 - sceSblUsSmSnvsDecryptMgmtData
SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_SNVS_DEC_MGMT.

The input is the current Mgmt Data sector read from NVS at offset 0.

Calculates a XTS decrypt using the per console keys in keyring 0x502, and 0x503 for the tweak and decryption keys. It then calculates an HMAC using the keyring 0x504 to check the block passed in.

The result is the current status and flags.

Data size is 0x28 bytes.

If flags[SCE_SBL_SS_SNVS_UPDATER_FLAG_INDEX] is not set, updater init is skipped:

0xA0002 - sceSblUsSmAuthAdditionalSign
SCE_SBL_SM_COMM_FID_SM_AUTH_PUP_AS.

Checks PUP Additional Signatures.

mgkm_sm.self
Magic Gate Key Manager secure module.

Present on 0.931-3.73. Commands are almost the same on any FW, only KEY_31 varies. 0 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.

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