-The console-unique CTCert is used for signing [[Title Data Structure|CTX]] files, the DeviceCert used by [[eShop]], and presumably for DSiWare exports. This ECDSA signature, the ECDSA private key for this cert, and the IssuerID is loaded from memory initialized by bootrom instead of NAND. This is the 3DS equivalent of the DSi TWCert.
