SPL services
SPL ("Secure Platform services") is responsible for handling all cryptographic operations within the system and relaying them to the Secure Monitor when necessary.
During [1.0.0-3.0.2], the only existing services were "csrng" and "spl:". However, in [4.0.0+] the "spl:" service was refactored and split into new services with different permission levels. Each service exposes the IPC command list differently in order to prevent cryptographic operations to take place in the wrong context.
csrng
This is "nn::spl::detail::IRandomInterface".
| Cmd | Name |
|---|---|
| 0 | #GetRandomBytes |
GetRandomBytes
Takes a type-6 buffer and fills it with random data from GetRandomBytes SMC. Same command for "spl:" and "csrng" services.
spl:, spl:mig, spl:fs, spl:ssl, spl:es, spl:manu
These are "nn::spl::detail::IGeneralInterface", "nn::spl::detail::ICryptoInterface", "nn::spl::detail::IFsInterface", "nn::spl::detail::ISslInterface", "nn::spl::detail::IEsInterface" and "nn::spl::detail::IManuInterface"(?).
[2.0.0+] Where previously only one AES engine was utilized, there is now support for 4 of them.
[2.0.0+] When the session closes, all AES engines that were locked are automatically unlocked.

Takes a 16-byte EKS (Encryption Key Source) and two words (KeyGeneration and option) as input.
Returns a scrambled sealed KEK (Key Encryption Key used as key_x).
LoadAesKey
Wrapper for LoadAesKey SMC.
Takes a u32 (keyslot) and two 16-byte keys (key_x and key_y).
Sets the specified keyslot with a key generated from key_x and key_y.
[2.0.0+] Now verifies that the engine in use (0..3) is locked/owned by the current spl session, otherwise errors with 0xD21A. Previously engine was hardcoded to 0.
GenerateAesKey
Takes a 16-byte KEK (key_x) and a 16-byte encrypted key (enc_key).
Generates a new key by decrypting (AES-ECB) enc_key with a key generated from the supplied key_x and a fixed key_y set with LoadAesKey SMC.
[2.0.0+] Previously, it always used engine 0. Now it tries to allocate an engine to be used and returns 0xD01A if they're all busy. When the command is done, the engine is released.
SetConfig
Wrapper for SetConfig SMC.
Takes a u32 (ConfigItem) and a u64 (ConfigVal).
| ConfigItem | Name |
|---|---|
| 13 | BatteryProfile |
Any other ConfigItem, besides 13, can't be set.
