  1. If these public keys are hard coded someway into the HV, then there’s possibly no way to patch this.

    However if the keys can be changed in software, new keys could be generated and patches for games issued.

    This would be a cat and mouse scenario though. Still, I can’t see the Sony boffins letting this one go.

    Interesting times people….. 🙂
