Editing NPD

NPD is a packet format used on PS3 in [[NPDRM]] contents. It corresponds to 2 sort of packets: the ones in SDAT/[[EDAT files]] and the ones in [[SELF_-_SPRX#Supplemental_Header_Table|SELF/SPRX NPDRM header]] in [[NPDRM]] SELF/SPRX files. NPD stands for Network Playstation Drm. The PS Vita equivalent of PS3 "NPD" packets are "DRM" packets.

= Location =

NPD packets are stored in [[EDAT files]] and in [[NPDRM]] [[SELF - SPRX]] files.

|-
| 0x08 || [[NPDRM#DRM Type|DRM&nbsp;Type]] || 4 || uint32_t || For PS2 EDAT, PS3 OS requires it to be with activation (i.e. Local DRM). For [[PKG_files#Misc.2FNote|PS1 PKG]], PS3 System Software version 4.00 introduced some changes for installing them with regard to the EDAT DRM type.

| 0x10 || [[PARAM.SFO#CONTENT_ID|Content&nbsp;ID]] || 0x30 || uint8_t[0x30] || Content ID (with padding to fit 48 bytes)
|-
| 0x40 || Digest || 0x10 || uint8[0x10] || QA digest. It seems to be a SHA-1 hash of the non-finalized file (debug SELF/SPRX created with make_fself_npdrm) or of the original EDAT data. Original data are unknown until the whole file is read, so it cannot be used as a check, however it can be used as watermark or zeroed on forged file.
|-
| 0x50 || CID-FN&nbsp;Hash || 0x10 || uint8_t[0x10] || CID-FN hash. AES-CMAC hash of concatenation of Content ID (48 bytes) and EDAT/SELF filename (eg "MINIS.EDAT", "EBOOT.BIN") using the [[Keys#NPD_CID-FN_Hash_AES-CMAC_Key|npd_cid_fn_hash_aes_cmac_key]]. Example: aes_cmac(55 50 30 35 37 36 2D 4E 50 55 5A 30 30 31 34 39 5F 30 30 2D 56 41 4E 47 55 41 52 44 32 30 30 30 30 30 30 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4D 49 4E 49 53 2E 45 44 41 54, npd_cid_fn_hash_aes_cmac_key).
|-
| 0x60 || Header&nbsp;Hash || 0x10 || uint8_t[0x10] || Header hash. AES CMAC hash of the 0x60 bytes from the beginning of the file using (klicensee XOR [[Keys#NPD_Header_Hash_XOR_Key|npd_header_hash_xor_key]]) as AES-CMAC key.
|-
| 0x70 || Limited&nbsp;Time&nbsp;Start || 8 || ?64-bit time or with 32-bit padding? || Start of the validity period, filled with 00 if not used.
