To decrypt it you need to use spkg keyset.
With the public release of PS3 System Software keys of versions 3.55 and earlier, Sony decided to change the keyset since version 3.56. To have backward compatibility, that is to allow any console on 3.55 and lower to install 3.56+ System Software updates, Sony had to keep compatibility with the old updater program. To do so, Sony kept using the format and algorithms for [[Certified File]]s of 3.55 and lower updater. But when installing a 3.56+ PS3 System Software update on a 3.56+ PS3, the 3.56+ updater applies an overlay filesystem to the [[Certified File]]s of the [[PUP]], using the "Spkg hdr.tar" file newly added. All .spkg_hdr.1 files contained in this ?encrypted? TAR are read as Certification headers of the same PKG files. This patch Certification header is then decrypted by the newer SPKG keyset to obtain the CF keys needed to decrypt the rest of the PKG. As the PKG body is encrypted with a unique AES key, the CF key retrieved by the 3.56+ updater is the same as the one obtained by the 3.55 and earlier updater.


=== History ===
For example:
* UPL.xml.pkg (4.60) can be decrypted using PKG keyset [0x0000 03.55] for PS3 FW <= 3.55.
* UPL.xml.pkg.spkg_hdr.1 can be decrypted using SPKG keyset for PS3 FW > 3.55.


The very first (early) 4.xx CFWs were only installable over 3.55 because they were not having new spkg.
Between patched and original SPKG, only Metadata Info and Signature change.


spkg is supposed to be created newly.

The easiest way for now is that you get Certification of your new spkg and decrypt it, then encrypt with spkg keys.
Of course, a change in the Certification gives completely different sha1 digests of 0x250 bytes:

The reason why CFW is not installable over any OFW is that we dont have spkg private keys.
The very first (early) 4.xx CFW PUPs were only installable on 3.55 and earlier PS3s because they were not having SPKG headers TAR.


PS3 verifies it on both xmb and recovery mode. Even if xmb makes it good, it will fail when installation screens pops up.
The reason why CFW is not installable over any 3.56+ OFW is that we do not have 3.56+ SPKG private keys.

Signed Package headers TAR file is present since PS3 System Software 3.56. It contains the TAR'ed collection of all SPKG Certified Files headers for installation on 3.56 and later PS3.

History[edit | edit source]

With the public release of PS3 System Software keys of versions 3.55 and earlier, Sony decided to change the keyset since version 3.56. To have backward compatibility, that is to allow any console on 3.55 and lower to install 3.56+ System Software updates, Sony had to keep compatibility with the old updater program. To do so, Sony kept using the format and algorithms for Certified Files of 3.55 and lower updater. But when installing a 3.56+ PS3 System Software update on a 3.56+ PS3, the 3.56+ updater applies an overlay filesystem to the Certified Files of the PUP, using the "Spkg hdr.tar" file newly added. All .spkg_hdr.1 files contained in this ?encrypted? TAR are read as Certification headers of the same PKG files. This patch Certification header is then decrypted by the newer SPKG keyset to obtain the CF keys needed to decrypt the rest of the PKG. As the PKG body is encrypted with a unique AES key, the CF key retrieved by the 3.56+ updater is the same as the one obtained by the 3.55 and earlier updater.

For example:

  • UPL.xml.pkg (4.60) can be decrypted using PKG keyset [0x0000 03.55] for PS3 FW <= 3.55.
  • UPL.xml.pkg.spkg_hdr.1 can be decrypted using SPKG keyset for PS3 FW > 3.55.

Between patched and original SPKG, only Metadata Info and Signature change. 

 [*] Encryption Root Header:                                     [*] Encryption Root Header:

Of course, a change in the Certification gives completely different sha1 digests of 0x250 bytes:

The very first (early) 4.xx CFW PUPs were only installable on 3.55 and earlier PS3s because they were not having SPKG headers TAR.

The reason why CFW is not installable over any 3.56+ OFW is that we do not have 3.56+ SPKG private keys.

Location[edit | edit source]

spkg_hdr.tar file is contained in any PS3 3.56+ PUP file.

Structure[edit | edit source]

spkg_hdr.tar ?once decrypted? is a TAR file containing files with ".pkg.spkg_hdr.1" extension.

These files are patch Certified File headers applied as an overlay on PKG files contained in the PUP.
