==Phat Consoles==
 
* On the PHAT consoles with NAND flash AES-CBC-192 is used for HDD encryption and AES-CBC-128 for VFLASH encryption.
* So no tweak and tweak key here. Each sector is encrypted with the same '''zeroed''' IV.
* VFLASH is encrypted '''once''' with ENCDEC key and zeroed IV!
* PHAT consoles are susceptible to the TLS CBC IV attack
* On the PHAT consoles with NOR flash AES-CBC-192 is used for HDD encryption(as on FAT consoles with NAND) and XTS-AES-128 for VFLASH encryption(as on slim consoles).
* Data key is of size 32 bytes but only the first 24 bytes are used for HDD and 16 bytes for VFLASH.
* See also http://www.multiupload.nl/6PIFV4GKSH (contains scripts of ENCDEC emulator for both types of consoles).

* To test your ATA XTS tweak and data keys, you need encrypted HDD sectors. You can either connect your HDD to PC and dump it or use my ps3vuart-tools on Linux and clear ATA keys and then dump it from ps3da. I tried both methods. But make sure you unmount all HDD regions before using ps3vuart-tools to clear your ATA keys. Also you could use a Linux LiveCD with ps3disk driver as module and load it with region flags 0x22 for region 0. 0x22 region flags mean that all sectors will be read undecrypted, see here http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Debian_LiveCD.

* I coded a small application which implements XTS-AES encryption/decryption. XTS-AES paper is a good reference how to implement it.
* I coded a small application which implements XTS-AES encryption/decryption.
* You have to pass the correct sector number in order to get correct results.
* As you see below in my examples, i pass sector number 0 and sector 8 for VFLASH because VFLASH begins at sector 8 on HDD.
* Another interesting fact is that you have to swap half-words after encrypting and before decrypting HDD sectors else you will get wrong results. This swapping is not necessary for VFLASH sectors.
* Another note is that you have to decrypt VFLASH sectors with ATA keys first and then with ENCDEC keys.

* To test your ENCDEC XTS tweak and data keys, you need encrypted VFLASH sectors. You can dump it from ps3da starting with sector 8.
* You have to pass the correct sector number in order to get correct results.
* As you see below in my examples, i pass sector 8 for VFLASH because VFLASH begins at sector 8 on HDD.
* The input sector was already decrypted with ATA keys.
