Wait wait wait, so... the private keys aren't stored into the console? XD
You need the Nintendo private key to sign cartridges, and you also need the console-specific SD key to sign SD card content.

That doesn't answer my question. I know what the keys do.You need the Nintendo private key to sign cartridges, and you also need the console-specific SD key to sign SD card content.
We don't know wether the key's are on the 3DS if they are then Getting them should be easy once the chips decappedThat doesn't answer my question. I know what the keys do.

... I just asked if the private keys are stored in the 3DS or not.*facepalm. Most of the time, they are, and yet Sifjar said they aren't So I wanted to be sure.Well, what private keys are you referring to? Because there would be no reason for SD encryption to be asymmetric, they could use a single key...
Nintendo has the private key, each 3DS has the public key.... I just asked if the private keys are stored in the 3DS or not.*facepalm. Most of the time, they are, and yet Sifjar said they aren't So I wanted to be sure.
Ok so they didn't make the same mistake like Sony. Thx.Nintendo has the private key, each 3DS has the public key.
What mistake did sony make?Ok so they didn't make the same mistake like Sony. Thx.
If i recall they stored both keys on the ps3 but as of 3.56+ the private keys are encrypted with a high end algorithm one that we have A .000000000000000000000001% chance of cracking we need the algo key and the private key to sign cfw/homebrew again for 3.56+ ofwWhat mistake did sony make?
So PS3 has no Homebrew again yet?If i recall they stored both keys on the ps3 but as of 3.56+ the private keys are encrypted with a high end algorithm one that we have A .000000000000000000000001% chance of cracking we need the algo key and the private key to sign cfw/homebrew again for 3.56+ ofw
Storing the private keys into the console so it could be found by hackers (Fail0verflow). Which means that they could sign unofficial content with it on any PS3, which means that the console itself wouldn't even need to be hacked. Not only that, if the key were to be changed, it would render old games useless since the games that were signed before wouldn't be compatible with the new key.What mistake did sony make?

The private key was later posted by a hacker named geohot, later Sony sued both the hacker and Fail0verflow.
I don't think it's been fixed... although I am NOT SURE if it has been fixed at all!
Edit: it's been fixed as now they are heavily encrypted apparently. Which makes it harder to crack. XD
"most of the time, they are" - no they aren't. That would completely defeat the point of assymetric encryption. The only time private keys were stored on a console was some of the PSP keys being stored on the PS3.... I just asked if the private keys are stored in the 3DS or not.*facepalm.

Oh ok. Thx for correcting me. XD"most of the time, they are" - no they aren't. That would completely defeat the point of assymetric encryption. The only time private keys were stored on a console was some of the PSP keys being stored on the PS3.
