CIA stands for '''C'''TR '''I'''mportable '''A'''rchive. This format allows the installation titles to the 3DS. CIA files and titles on [[Title list|Nintendo's CDN]] contain identical data. As a consequence, valid CIA files can be generated from CDN content. This also means CIA files can contain anything that titles on Nintendo's CDN can contain.

Under normal circumstances CIA files are used where downloading a title is impractical or not possible. Such as distributing a [[Download Play]] child, or installing forced Gamecard updates. Those CIA(s) are stored by the titles in question, in an auxiliary [[NCCH#CFA|CFA]] file.

The APP data (NCCH/SRL) is encrypted, using 128-bit AES-CBC. The encryption uses the decrypted titlekey of the ticket, and the titleid padded with zeros as the IV. To get the decrypted titlekey, the titlekey stored in the ticket must be decrypted using 128-bit AES-CBC with the 3DS common key, and the same IV as mentioned previously.
The contents (NCCH/SRL) are encrypted using 128-bit AES-CBC. The encryption uses the decrypted titlekey from the [[Ticket#Structure|ticket]], and the content index from the TMD padded with zeros as the IV.
