Quote: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 :)

Huh?
The two data sets look almost identical, with the exception of a section in the middle being different.
And it doesn't look like the information is exactly secretive anyway.  Maybe it was just encoded, obfuscated at best, but this doesn't look like any form of encryption at all.

Encrypted data typically has high entropy, and I don't see it at all here...
