PS Vita PKG AES Key Changed

The PS Vita launched yesterday in Japan, we posted about it here, that was exciting news for all those standing in line at 7AM on a cold Japanese morning, those in the hacking community came to a bit of a snag, in that the newer PKG’s have had their AES Keys changed, here is a quote from well known hacker SKFU:

I just got my tried to unpack the Twitter application for PS VITA and sadly I have to say that the AES key for PKG encryption and decryption changed.

The PKG’s I used for my testings were pretty old and the key update was expected.
Nevertheless it’s a bit disappointing but a new nice challange

The PS3 can decrypt the new packages on firmware 4.00 which contains the new PS VITA PKG AES key for the PS3 <--> PS VITA content exchange feature. This means we can decrypt and get the content of the PS VITA PKG files via a 4.00 PS3. Sadly there’s no solution to re-encrypt it again, yet.

Let the games begin! (again…)

Following up on his previous update, today PlayStation Vita hacker SKFU reports that he may have uncovered a PS Vita encryption flaw.

To quote from his page: Since I finally have access to a retail PS VITA, today I started with some basic tests.

After a complete freeze of the system within the first 5 minutes after unboxing (*always happens to new consoles 4 me rofl*), I went on and noticed that there is a problem with the VITA's encryption functions and was able to decrypt some test files directly via the system.

I will post updates as soon as I have news
