How 3DS system judge encryption type? Matyapiro

Sorry the question is not understood. What do you mean? Neimod

I think that he means "How does the 3DS decide what encryption method must be used" --Quincy 23:47, 29 May 2011 (CEST)

That question does not make sense. There are no decisions. It is always AES CTR. Neimod

Sorry,how does the 3DS decide what key to use for encryption? Matyapiro

If you figure that out, let us know, thanks. Neimod 02:45, 1 June 2011 (CEST)

There's a common key used to generate output at compile time, when the cci/ctx files are made. Why do you say 128 bit AES CTR though? Jl12

Because 128-bit AES CTR is used to encrypt those formats. --Neimod 15:40, 18 June 2011 (CEST)

I know *something* is used to encrypt but do we know it is 128 bit AES CTR? Jl12

Frankly I don't think it was AES. I think it's using RSA for encryption. Besides it already used it once for the 2048-bit signature as you said. Wouldn't it make way more sense to also use it for the encryption scheme. Jl12

Lol. --Neimod 16:06, 20 June 2011 (CEST)

What's funny? So I guess it's just based purely on speculation? You should say so. That way nobody believes something that isn't right. Jl12 22:28, 20 June 2011 (CEST)

RSA is only used for the signature. After that a symmetric block cipher called AES is used in CTR mode. --Neimod 23:32, 20 June 2011 (CEST)

How did you get this data? Did you find some way to dump 3DS cartridges? --Popoffka 09:15, 1 June 2011 (CEST)

Yes, someone found a way to dump the data on 3DS cards. Unfortunately the method cannot be disclosed, and at this point dumping is not really useful since most of the information is encrypted. Neimod 10:03, 1 June 2011 (CEST)

- moved this comment to the filetypes page where it's more appropriate

Do you have any method to run a Dump? and did you find the key for the ctrtool?
