SELF stands for Signed Executable and Linkable Format.
 
It is the format used by the executables on the PS3 (SCE Header Version 2), PS Vita (SCE Header Version 3)
It consists of an elf whose sections might be encrypted using AES CTR and signed using ECDSA + HMAC-SHA1
It has a specific header here called SCE header where it stores all the parameters for this process

=== Comments ===
 
There is one of these entries for each phdr entry in the elf file so that the ps3 knows where to decrypt the data from. (because it might also be compressed.)
 
Notes:
 
*There is one Segment Information for each ELF Program Header.<br>
