* XTS-AES-128 is used to encrypt all data on PS3 HDD.
* XTS-AES-128 is used to encrypt all data on PS3 HDD.
* 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.

* Tweak and data XTS keys are of size 32 bytes but only the first 16 bytes are used.

* '''You can set and clear ATA keys with my Linux ps3encdec device driver which I use to test HDD/VFLASH encryption. But be careful, never set/clear ATA keys while some HDD regions/partitions are mounted !!! You will corrupt your data on your HDD !!!'''

* 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
* PHAT consoles are susceptible to the TLS CBC IV attack (which combined with [[http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Talk:Playstation_Update_Package_(PUP)#Remark_.40_Installation | this]] would produce some decent results)
* 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).
