Hello.. today we release a PlayStation 3 Security Architecture PDF document to the public. We still are doing some work on PS3 KeyVault Project, so still not ready yet.

For the PDF.. this is not for newbies sorry. Target Audience: Deep knowledge of CBEA SOC, Sony PlayStation 3 hardware logic, security, encryption/decryption and secure boot dynamics is the minimum to understand the parts of this document.

Nikki reports that a microphone accessory for use with the service will be sold separately, while the Skype software itself will be offered as a free download to all Slim owners.

The service will not carry a charge for PSP-to-PSP and PSP-to-PC calls. However, signing up for a dedicated phone number will cost around 2,250 yen.
