SELF stands for Signed Executable and Linkable Format. SELF is the file format used by the executables on the PS3 and PS Vita. SPRX stands for Signed Playstation Relocatable eXecutable. SPRX is a file extension, derived from PRX, of SELF files that are loaded as "libraries" rather than "applications". SELF files of applications are often named "EBOOT.BIN" as in "encrypted BOOT.BIN" as a legacy of PS1, PS2 and PSP executables filenames.

= Introduction =
It is the format used by the executables on the PS3
It consists of an elf whose sections might be encrypted using AES CTR and signed using ECDSA + HMAC-SHA1
It has a specific header here called SCE header where it stores all the parameters for this process


SELF consists of a [[Certified File]] header with an Extended Header followed by the encapsulated ELF file. ELF sections can be compressed using gzip. A SELF is usually encrypted and signed, but [[#fSELF|fSELF]] are unsigned SELFs. ELF sections can be encrypted using AES128 and signed using ECDSA160 or RSA2048 + HMAC-SHA1 or HMAC-SHA256. A SELF has a specific header called Extended header where it stores all the parameters for this program.
----
 
*Extended Header
Extended Header consists of information regarding the structure and offsets of the SELF. The first part is in plaintext until the Encryption Root Header.
 
*Encryption Root Header
Encryption Root Header is encrypted under an AES256CBC layer. It contains key and IV to further decrypt the Certification data using AES128 (CBC or CTR).
 
*Certification data
Certification Header, Certification Body and CF Signature are encrypted under an AES128 (CBC or CTR) layer with the Encryption Root Header key and IV.
 
*Certification Header
Signature is an ECDSA160/RSA2048 signature of the SHA1/SHA256 digest of the SELF file starting at offset 0 and ending at offset sign_offset.
 
*Data Segments
Data segments can be encrypted and/or compressed. SHA1/HMAC-SHA1/HMAC-SHA256 is used to ensure that they have not been modified.

Basically here are the steps being involved by the loaders:  
Basically here are the steps being involved by the loaders:  


Loaders all have a static key and iv called respectively <abbr title="ERK - 256bit Encryption Round Key">erk</abbr> and <abbr title="RIV - 128bit Reset Initialization Vector">riv</abbr>. Those are keys for the first decryption step which is to decrypt the Encryption Root Header using <abbr title="AES256CBC - Advanced Encryption Standard - 256 bit - Cipher-block chaining">AES256CBC</abbr>. When the SELF is protected by [[NPDRM]] ?instead of using static keys?, erk and riv are derived by decrypting klicensee using "NP_klic_key".
Loaders all have a static key and iv called respectively <abbr title="ERK - 256bit Encryption Round Key">erk</abbr> and <abbr title="RIV - 128bit Reset Initialization Vector">riv</abbr>, those are keys for the first decryption step which are used to decrypt the very first 0x40 bytes of the self's metadata using <abbr title="AES256CBC - Advanced Encryption Standard - 256 bit - Cipher-block chaining">AES256CBC</abbr>


Then the result is used as key and iv to decrypt the rest of the Certification data using <abbr title="AESCTR - Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter Mode">AES128CTR</abbr> (PS3) or AES128CBC (PS Vita). Finally the decrypted Certification data contains the key and iv for each data segments which are still decrypted following the Segment Certification Header information. This security model is based on the fact that the Certification Root Header once decrypted by the static AES256CBC key in the loader should never be the same from one binary to the other. The same goes for any other value used as an AES128 key or iv.

Loaders are also involved with inflating the binaries using zlib.

= File Format =
 
fSELF stands for fake signed ELF. It is the format output by Software Development Kits and ran on activated TestKits and DevKits. As it name suggests, a fSELF is not signed and usually not encrypted. If a fSELF was signed, that would imply that SDK embeds the private keys required to sign it.
 
A fSELF has Attribute set to 0x8000. ?always?
 
A fSELF has usually less rights than a System SELF but more than a finalized Non-System SELF. The OS recognizes a fSELF by looking at its program-authority-id.

The real ELF data is located after the Extended Header (see Extended Header size in [[Certified File#Header|Certified File Header]]).

'''PT_SCE_MODULE_PARAM (PS4)'''
 
This segment contains a single C struct. It appears instead of PT_SCE_PROCESS_PARAM if the ELF file was compiled to be a library. Like PT_SCE_PROCESS_PARAM, the .data segment contains it and it is always at offset 0.
<source lang="c">
struct SceModuleParamBase {
    // current size of the struct this version
    uint64_t size;
    // magic bytes

    uint32_t version;
    // for example: 0x0803_0001 for firmware version 8.03
    uint32_t sdk_version;
}
</source>
The struct is the base or head of the actual struct used. The above fields are always present and their offsets do not change between versions.
 
Fields whose name are of the form: unk_0x[0-9 aA-fF], are unknown fields whose offset is in the name, e.g. unk_0x18 is at offset 0x18.<source lang="c">

Temporary name was Section Info. Official name is segment_ext_header.
 
Segment Extended Header is a table which maps each phdr/shdr entry to the actual offset/size within the encrypted Certified File. Indeed, because segments can be compressed, they might not match the values listed within the ELF phdr/shdr.
 
There is one of these entries for each ELF phdr (ELF Program Segment Header) entry in the ELF file so that the console knows where to decrypt the data from, because it might also be compressed.

Notes:


To be documented.
*Load the metadata information and decrypt the key and ivec entries using AES256CBC using erk and riv.
*Load the metadata header and decrypt it using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the metadata information.
*Load sectionCount metadata section headers and decrypt them using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the metadata information.
*Load keyCount metadata keys and decrypt them using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the metadata information.
*For each metadata section:
**In the SELF file, fseek to dataOffset and read in dataSize bytes.
**Decrypt the data using AES128CTR with the key and ivec from the metadata keys specified by keyIndex and ivecIndex from the metadata section header.
**Uncompress the data using zlib.
**Write it to the ELF file as the program section specified by section Index in the metadata section header.

=== Meta Checksums ===
There are 3 checksums at the offset specified by meta_offset.


To be documented.
*The first is the sha1 checksum of the entire self file.  
*The 2nd checksum is the inverse of the first checksum.
*The 3rd checksum is the first checksum XORed with 0xAAAAAA..AAAAAB


The PSJailbreak payload ignores the actual checksums, but checks that the 3rd checksum is the 2nd checksum XORed with 0xAAAAAA..AAAAAB
