Console Security Certificate

The Console Security Certificate is used by the Xbox 360 as the format of all RSA signatures generated by it. The total length of the certificate is 552 (0x228) bytes.

0x7 0xB ascii string Console Part Number
0x12 0x4 int Reserved
0x16 0x2 short Privileges
0x18 0x4 int Console Type (0x02 for retail, anything different is devkit)
0x1C 0x8 ascii string Certificate Date of Generation
0x24 0x4 bytes Public Exponent
0x28 0x80 bytes Public Modulus
0xA8 0x100 bytes Certificate Signature
0x1A8 0x80 bytes Signature

Notes

The console type field can be very strange, especially with older pre-1888 dashboards, for example two different 1838 keyvaults identify their console type as 0x80000002. If you want to check if something is devkit or retail, I'd suggest something like:

if(consoletype == 0x02)
    return retail;
else
    return devkit;
