Editing Sealedkey / pfsSKKey

The Sealed Key is a an encrypted key used on PS Vita, PS4 and PS5 to prevent files modification and extraction. It can be found on different places in the filesystem and is used for Save Data and Trophy Data decryption and encryption.

= PS4 =

== Location ==

The sealedkey file is located in the folder of every savedata/trophies. It is not PFS encrypted.

For example, in PS4 4.55 kernel, the function '''sceSblSsDecryptSealedKey''' checks that the keyset is less or equal 2 before calling '''sceSblSsDecryptWithPortability'''.

== Usage ==

With code execution in PS4 kernel, the sealed key can be decrypted by asking the PS4 kernel:
* with '''sceSblSsDecryptSealedKey''' (see Talk page),
* or with '''sceSblSsDecryptWithPortability''' (reimplement '''sceSblSsDecryptSealedKey''' by reversing Kernel),
* or with portability master keys (see [[Vulnerabilities#%3C=_?7.55?_-_Missing_HMAC_key_length_check_in_Secure_Kernel_leading_to_Partial_SAMU_KeyRings_bruteforce]]).
