Pretty interesting talk on youtube if you have 45 mins to listen to it: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010 ... graphy.ars
Upshot is Sony screwed up their crypto so badly in the PS3 they effectively gave away their private signing key for executables. Means there’s nothing to stop people releasing homebrew stuff and no way Sony can patch it without actually breaking all existing PS3s out there.
Even more interesting is it should be able to get the Blu-Ray key from the PS3, which breaks the entire Blu-Ray crypto (the PS3 is so big you couldn’t revoke it).
