Decryption of EDATS

Three ways to do it:

  • act.dat,rif,idps combo
  • rap
  • free content (npdrm1 klic)

Free Content

Simply decrypted with appldr keys and free klic

Using RAP

Overview of steps:

  • Obtain rifkey from rap (flatz's rap2rifkey)
  • Decrypt EDAT using corresponding klic (minis,psxclassics,etc) and rifkey

0x10 CONTENT ID 48 (0x30) uint8 Content Identificator
0x40 Digest 16 (0x10) uint8 QA digest (seems like to be a SHA-1 hash of the non-finalized file) : hash of the original data which is unknown until the whole file is read, can not be used as check. Used as watermark on custom edat.
0x50 NPD hash 1 16 (0x10) uint8 CID-FN hash (an AES CMAC hash of concatenation of Content ID and File Name using the third NPDRM OMAC key as CMAC key)
0x60 NPD hash 2 16 (0x10) uint8 header hash (an AES CMAC hash of the 0x60 bytes from the beginning of file using xored bytes of the first NPDRM OMAC key and the second NPDRM OMAC key as CMAC key)
0x70 Activation dates 8 unkn (Since and up to) filled with 00 if not used
