Per Console Keys


Submitted by greg; October 28, 2011
You've probably read already about the Per Console Keys, which are unique to each PS3, and there are a number of keys in play that secure the console tight. At the PS3 Developer Wiki you'll find what we currently know and how to obtain some of these per console keys; however, per_console_root_key_0 remains a mystery ... and she's the most important, responsible for decrypting metldr and bootldr. The good news: The hardcores have figured a means to obtain per_console_root_key_1 (or the EID_root_key) and per_console_root_key_2 (or EID0_key). The methods and payloads for obtaining said keys can be found at the source, linked below. Mind you, as I said in the past, this isn't for the average jail breaker -- just the hardcores ... but if you're an aspiring hardcore, then go nuts. Take a stab at it! The bad news: Like I said, per_console_root_key_0 remains at large. Reverse engineering the PS3 encryption process is extremely complicated and takes serious time and effort... But really, it's only a matter of time till shit's cracked wide open ... more so than it already is. For more technical details and insight towards obtaining these keys, follow the... - source: ps3devwiki

So what can be done with these keys? Could bootldr maybe be modified to redirect a fresh fw install (ofw 3.55 for an example)?

Does this mean we might have a jailbreak for OFW over 3.55 soon?

I believe it's 3.72 I doubt that it's 3.73 since it was just released recently. I could be wrong though
