===== [[2.0.0-2]] Hashed keyY and [[2.2.0-4]] Savegame Encryption =====

When certain [[NCSD]] partition flags are set, a SHA-256 hash is calculated over the data from the CXI(same data used with the original plain keyY), and the 0x40-bytes read from a gamecard command(this 0x40-byte data is also read by [[Process_Services_PXI|GetRomId]]). The first 0x10-bytes from this hash is used for the keyY. When flag[7] is set, the CTR will never repeat within the save image, unlike the original CTR-method. All games which had the retail NCSD image finalized after the [[2.2.0-4]] update(and contain [[2.2.0-4]]+ in the [[System Update CFA|System update partition]]), use this encryption method.

This keyY generation method was implemented with [[2.0.0-2]] via NCSD partition flag[3], however the proper CTR wasn't implemented for flag[7] until [[2.2.0-4]]. The hashed keyY flag[3] implemented with [[2.0.0-2]] was likely never used with retail gamecards.
