RAP/RIF support

Adds functions to convert RAP to RIF and vice-versa with no dependency to a special AES implementation, so the develper is free to choose his preferred AES solution. Additionally it provides the AES ECB/CBC 128-bit key to encrypt/decrypt RAP keys.

For RIF to RAP process the RIF with the function, then encrypt the intermediate result to get the RAP. For RAP to RIF decrypt the RAP key, then process the intermediate result with the function to get the RIF.

C Library for RAP/RIF

// AES key for RAP key encryption
const unsigned char * const rap_aes_key;

// functions
void rif2rap_rounds(const unsigned char * const in_rif_key, unsigned char * const out_unencrypted_rap_key);
void rap2rif_rounds(const unsigned char * const in_decrypted_rap_key, unsigned char * const out_rif_key);

Python Module for RAP/RIF

bytearray raprif.rap_aes_key

AES ECB/CBC 128-bit key as bytearray.

bytearray raprif.rif2rap_rounds(bytes|bytearray)

Extra processing of RIF key.

bytearray raprif.rap2rif_rounds(bytes|bytearray)

Extra processing of decrypted RAP key.

from psntools import raprif  # access via raprif.
#import psntools.raprif  # access via psntools.raprif.
import binascii

binascii.hexlify(raprif.rap_aes_key)

rap_intermediate_bytes = raprif.rif2rap_rounds(rif_bytes)

rif_bytes = raprif.rap2rif_rounds(rap_intermediate_bytes)

Installation of psntools

psntools for Python

As the package includes some C code a C compiler is needed for installation via pip install psntools.

It is recommended to use virtual environments for Python 3 and Python 2 to avoid side-effects with other Python applications. Personal preference is to use .venv3 and .venv2 respectively to be able to cross-test for Python 3 and Python 2.

• Debian-based Linux

  • Install build environment: apt-get install build-essential.

  • Install via pip as mentioned above.

• Windows

  • Get the Build Tools from the Visual Studio download page (link as of 2018-11).

    • Install Build Tools with additional components via “Change…​” button:

      • Desktop Development with C++

    • Reboot.

  • Start the Native Tools Command Prompt fitting Python’s bitness (x86 = 32.bit, x64 = 64-bit).

  • Install via pip as mentioned above.
