* XTS is NOT CBC!!! It's AES-ECB with tweak XORing. AES-CBC is impractical for HDD encryption. Each sector can be encrypted/decrypted independently from other HDD sectors.

* VFLASH is encrypted twice. First with ENCDEC keys and then with ATA keys.

==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).
