These NWM services are used for local-WLAN communications, NWM module handles regular wifi APs as well. These services are used for creating/connecting to networks, and for sending/receiving data over the network etc. NWM module uses the wifi SDIO hardware via the IO registers for this.

NWM local-WLAN service "nwm::UDS"

NWM service "nwm::INF"

NWM service "nwm::SOC"

NWM service "nwm::SAP"

NWM local-WLAN StreetPass service "nwm::CEC"

NWM service "nwm::EXT"

NWM service "nwm::TST"

Local-WLAN UDS CCMP Key Generation

All UDS local-WLAN communications have the CCMP key for data encryption generated the same way via NWM module. The input data used with EncryptDecryptAes with keytype1 is a MD5 hash over an input passphrase. This input passphrase is fixed for Download Play, it's unique per local-WLAN protocol. The CTR is a MD5 hash over the below 0x10-byte structure. The output from encrypting that data with AES-CTR is the final CCMP key.

Structure used for generating the CTR

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Little-endian local-WLAN communication ID, normally this is the user process' UniqueID from the titleID. For Download Play, this is always 0x2810 on retail.
0x4 0x4 Little-endian u32 networkID, randomly-generated when creating the network. The network SSID used when a client connects to the network is sprintf(out, "%08X", networkID).
0x8 0x6 Host MAC address.
0xE 0x2 Little-endian ID, for Download Play this is 0x55.
