HDD Encryption

Introduction

• The following information was reverse enginered from LV1, Storage Manager in LPAR1 and sb_iso_spu_module.self.

HDD Encryption

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

Dumping ATA Keys

• I modified sb_iso_spu_module.self to dump ATA keys.
• ATA keys are passed as parameters to sb_iso_spu_module.self.

Program

My SPU program to dump ATA tweak and data XTS keys to PPU memory with spuisofs:
