Summary

The console-unique CTCert is used for signing CTX files, the DeviceCert used by eShop, and for DSiWare exports. This ECDSA signature, the ECDSA private key for this cert, and the IssuerID is loaded from memory initialized by bootrom instead of NAND. This is the 3DS equivalent of the DSi TWCert.

The CTCert is signed with ECDSA by Nintendo. CTCerts can be verified via a DER stored in NATIVE_FIRM, separate DERs are used for retail and dev/debug.

The ECDSA public key for this cert is converted from the ECDSA private key initialized by bootrom. The curve used for ECDSA is sect233r1.
