Introduction

It consists of a CF header with an extended header followed by the encapsulated ELF file. ELF sections can be compressed using gzip. SELFs are encrypted and signed, unlike fSELFs. ELF sections are encrypted using AES CTR (maybe more algos?) and signed using ECDSA + HMAC-SHA1. SELF file has a specific header called Extended header where it stores all the parameters for this program.

  • Extended Header

It consists of information regarding the structure and offsets of the SELF. The first part is in plaintext until you reach Encryption Root Header.

  • Encryption Root Header

Encryption Root Header is itself encrypted under AES256CBC. This part contains key and ivec to further decrypt the header using AES128CTR.

  • Metadata

The Certification Header, Segment Certification Headers, Section Hashes, Capabilities and Signature are all encrypted under this AES128CTR layer and are decrypted with the key above.

  • Certification Header

Certification Header contains the info required to authenticate the header and the structure of the metadata. The signature is ECDSA of the SHA1 hash of the SELF file starting at offset 0x0 and ending at 0x0+signatureInputLength.

  • Data Sections

The data sections might be encrypted using AES128CTR and/or compressed. HMAC-SHA1 is used to ensure that they have not been modified.

Cryptography

Here is a small summary on how the SELF cryptography works.

Basically here are the steps being involved by the loaders:

Loaders all have a static key and iv called respectively erk and riv. Those are keys for the first decryption step which are used to decrypt the very first 0x40 bytes of the SELF's metadata using AES256CBC.

Then the result is used as key and iv to decrypt the rest of the metadata using AESCTR. Finally the decrypted metadata contains the key and iv for each data sections which are still decrypted through AES128CTR. This security model is based on the fact that the first 0x40 bytes of the SELF's metadata 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 AES128CTR key or iv.

Loaders are also involved with inflating the binaries using zlib.

The SELF authenticity is based on other independent steps, HMAC-SHA1 of the data sections and ECDSA for the actual signature in the header.

File Format

Notes:

  • Warning: PS3 uses big endian, PSVita uses little endian.
  • Encapsulated ELF header fields are useless (only the EI_CLASS EI_DATA and EI_VERSION fields are checked).

PS3 early type 3 SELFs

SDK 0.60: No sce version and digest
SDK 0.8X: No sce version, with 0x30 digest
SDK 0.9X: With sce version and 0x40 digest (scetool produces this type)

Extended Header

Extended Header offsets are relative to Certified File start.

Struct

 typedef struct { // Size is 0x50 bytes
  uint64_t ext_hdr_version;
  uint64_t program_identification_hdr_offset;
  uint64_t ehdr_offset;
  uint64_t phdr_offset;
  uint64_t shdr_offset;
  uint64_t sections_hdr_offset;
  uint64_t version_hdr_offset;
  uint64_t supplemental_hdr_offset;
  uint64_t supplemental_hdr_size;
  uint64_t padding;
 } __attribute__((packed)) ext_hdr;

Table

field offset type notes
Extended Header version 0x0 u64 3 for PS3, 4 for PSVita
Program Identification Header offset 0x8 u64 Offset to Program Identification Header.
ELF Header offset 0x10 u64 Offset to ELF header.
Program Header offset 0x18 u64 Offset to ELF Program Header.
Section Header offset 0x20 u64 Offset to ELF Section Header.
Program Extended Header offset 0x28 u64 Offset to Program Extended Header.
Version Header offset 0x30 u64 Offset to Version Header.
Supplemental Header offset 0x38 u64 Offset to Supplemental Header.
Supplemental Header size 0x40 u64 Size of Supplemental Header.
Padding 0x48 u64

Comments

The real ELF data is located after the extended header (see header size). It is encrypted, unless attribute is 0x8000. unfself works by cutting the SCE header from the (fake)SELF and if needed decompressing sections.

Program Identification Header

Temp name was App Info. Official name is Program Identification Header.

Struct

 typedef struct {
   uint64_t program_authority_id;
   uint32_t program_vendor_id;
   uint32_t program_type;
   uint64_t program_sceversion;
   uint64_t padding;
 } __attribute__((packed)) program_identification_header;

Program Extended Header

A table which maps each phdr entry to the actual offset/size within the encrypted CF. Indeed, because sections can be compressed, they might not match the values listed within the ELF phdr/shdr.

There is one of these entries (Section/Segment Information) for each ELF phdr (Program Header) entry in the ELF file so that the console knows where to decrypt the data from (because it might also be compressed).

Comments

There are 3 digests in ps3_npdrm_info:

  • digest is the sha1 checksum of the entire SELF file.
  • inv_digest is the inverse of digest.
  • xor_digest is digest 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.

Notes:

  • self_control_flags is also known as plaintext_capability.
  • loader uses supplemental_header_table to handle the data:
 typedef struct {
  uint256_t   control_flags;      /* self_control_flags */
  uint8[0x14] elf_digest;         /* sha1 hash of the ELF file */
  uint32_t    unknown_0;          /* seems to be padding */
  uint64_t    PS3_SYSTEM_VER;     /* required_system_vesion, decimal format */
 } SUPPLEMENTAL_HEADER_TABLE;

Encryption Root Header

Temp name was Metadata Information. Official name is encryption_root_header.

This is not present in fSELF.

Struct

typedef struct {
  uint8_t key[16];
  uint8_t key_pad[16];
  uint8_t iv[16];
  uint8_t iv_pad[16];
} __attribute__((packed)) encryption_root_header;

Comments

Notes:

  • The key and ivec fields are encrypted using AES256CBC.

Certification Header

Temp name was Metadata Header. Official name is certification_header.

This is only present if the Encryption Root Header is present.

The Certification Header is located after the Encryption Root Header in the SELF file. It is decrypted using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.

Struct

typedef struct {
  uint64_t signatureInputLength;
  uint32_t unknown02;            // Might be signature algorithm. It always = 1 (ECDSA)
  uint32_t sectionCount;
  uint32_t keyCount;
  uint32_t optional_header_size;
  uint64_t unknown06;
} __attribute__((packed)) certification_header;

Comments

Notes:

  • signatureInputLength is the number of bytes which are used to generate the SHA-1 which is used to generate the ECDSA signature. The length should be eveything from the beginning until the signature itself. The decrypted version of the input data is used.

Segment Certification Header

Temp name was Metadata Section Headers. Official name is segment_certification_header.

This is only present if the Certification Header is present.

The Segment Certification Headers are located after the Certification Header in the SELF file.

Struct

typedef struct {
  uint64_t data_offset;
  uint64_t data_size;
  uint32_t type;           // 1 = shdr, 2 = phdr, 3 = sceversion

} __attribute__((packed)) segment_certification_header;

Comments

Notes:

  • The number of sections is indicated by the sectionCount entry in the Certification Header.
  • They are decrypted using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.
  • Section data is decrypted using AES128CTR with the key and ivec from the metadata keys specified by keyIndex and ivecIndex.
  • Section data will also need to be uncompressed using zlib.
  • The data_offset of the Segment Certification Header matches in general the Segment Extended Header offset.

Section Hash

Temp name was Metadata Keys.

  • The Section Hashes are located after the Segment Certification Headers in the SELF file.

Struct

 typedef struct {
  uint8_t sha1[20];
  uint8_t padding[12];
  uint8_t hmac_key[64];
 } __attribute__((packed)) SECTION_HASH;

Comments

Notes:

  • The number of keys is indicated by the keyCount entry in the Certification Header.
  • They are decrypted using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.
  • If the sha1Index points to a key, then key[sha1Index] and key[sha1Index+1] form the 160-bit hash. key[sha1Index+2] to key[key[sha1Index+6] form the 512-bit key for the HMAC-SHA1. The HMAC-SHA1 is calculated on the decrypted data and before the decompression.

Optional Header Table

Temp name was Signature Info, Capabilities Info. Official name is optional_header_table.

The Optional Header Table is located after the Section Hash in the SELF file.

It is only present if optional_header_size in the Certification Header is not zero.

Struct

typedef struct {
	uint32_t type; // 1=capability_header, 2=individual_seed_header, 3=attribute_header
	uint32_t size;
	uint64_t next; // 1 if another optional_header structure follows else 0
	union {
		// type 1
		struct { // 0x20 bytes of data
			uint8_t capability[0x20];
		} capability_header;
		// type 2
		struct { // 0x100 bytes of data
			uint8_t individual_seed[0x100];
		} individual_seed_header;
		// type 3
		struct { // 0x20 bytes of data
			uint8_t attribute[0x20];
		} attribute_header;
	};
} __attribute__((packed)) optional_header;

Comments

  • It is decrypted using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.
  • Type 1 contains capability flags also known as encrypted_capability. See capabilities.

Signature

The signature is located after the Signature Information in the SELF file.

It is even present if the Signature Information is not present.

Struct

 typedef struct {
  uint8_t r[21];
  uint8_t s[21];
  uint8_t padding[6];
 } __attribute__((packed)) SIGNATURE;

Comments

Notes:

  • It is decrypted using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.

Segment Extended Header

Temp name was SELF Section Info. Official name is segment_ext_header.

Struct

typedef struct {
  void *data;
  uint64_t size;
  uint64_t offset;
} segment_ext_header;

Extracting an ELF

ELF Header

Elf64_Ehdr elfHeader;

fseek ( selfFile, fix64 ( selfHeader.elfHeaderOffset ), SEEK_SET );
fread ( &elfHeader, sizeof ( Elf64_Ehdr ), 1, selfFile );

fseek ( elfFile, 0, SEEK_SET );
fwrite ( &elfHeader, sizeof ( Elf64_Ehdr ), 1, elfFile );

Section Headers

Elf64_Shdr elfSectionHeaders[100];

fseek ( selfFile, fix64 ( selfHeader.elfSectionHeadersOffset ), SEEK_SET );
fread ( elfSectionHeaders, sizeof ( Elf64_Shdr ), fix16 ( elfHeader.e_shnum ), selfFile );

fseek ( elfFile, fix64 ( elfHeader.e_shoff ), SEEK_SET );
fwrite ( elfSectionHeaders, sizeof ( Elf64_Shdr ), fix16 ( elfHeader.e_shnum ), elfFile );

Section Data

Notes:

  • Unknown, manually copying the data over works for now.
  • There should be a section data offset somewhere.

Program Headers

Elf64_Phdr elfProgramHeaders[100];

fseek ( selfFile, fix64 ( selfHeader.elfProgramHeadersOffset ), SEEK_SET );
fread ( elfProgramHeaders, sizeof ( Elf64_Phdr ), fix16 ( elfHeader.e_phnum ), selfFile );

fseek ( elfFile, fix64 ( elfHeader.e_phoff ), SEEK_SET );
fwrite ( elfProgramHeaders, sizeof ( Elf64_Phdr ), fix16 ( elfHeader.e_phnum ), elfFile );

Program Data

Notes:

  • Load the Encryption Root Header and decrypt the key and ivec entries using AES256CBC using erk and riv.
  • Load the Certification Header and decrypt it using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.
  • Load sectionCount Segment Certification Headers and decrypt them using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.
  • Load keyCount metadata keys and decrypt them using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.
  • 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 in the Segment Certification Header.
    • Uncompress the data using zlib.
    • Write it to the ELF file as the program section specified by program_idx in the Segment Certification Header.
