== Overview ==
CIA stands for '''C'''TR '''I'''mportable '''A'''rchive. This format allows the installation titles to the 3DS. CIA files can compile [[NCCH]] files for installation to either the SDMC or CTR NAND. CIA files can also compile .SRL files (format for DS(i) executable images) for installation to the TWL NAND of the 3DS.
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.
[[Download Play]] utilises the CIA format when transferring titles.(This is also the only known retail implementation of the CIA format)
Development Units, are capable of manually installing CIA files via the [[3DS Development Unit Software#Dev Menu|Dev Menu]].
A sample (developer) CIA can be downloaded [https://dl.dropbox.com/u/60710927/CTR/Sample/CIA.7z here] Credit: [[User:Jl12|Jl12]]. It includes a .cia file, with everything is decrypted/extracted. It also includes some screenshots, as well as a copy of the directory where the title was installed.
== Format ==
This is the current version of the CIA format, it was finalised in late 2010. (Older versions of the CIA format can be viewed on the [[Talk:CIA|Talk]] page)
The CIA format has a similar structure to the [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wad WAD format].

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.
=== Certificate Chain ===
== Meta ==
There are three [[Certificates|certificates]] in this chain:
{| class="wikitable" border="1"

| RSA-4096

The CA certificate is issued by 'Root', the public key for which is stored in NATIVE_FIRM.

== Tools ==
* [https://github.com/3dshax/ctr/tree/master/ctrtool ctrtool] - Reading/Extraction of CIA files. This can only decrypt the title-key for development CIAs, since retail CIAs use the [[AES]] hardware key-scrambler for the common-key keyslot.
* [https://github.com/ps3hen/ctr_toolkit/tree/master/make_cia make_cia] - Generating CIA files. Requires CommonKey and ticket/TMD RSA-2048 private exponents.

The title ID encryption process starts by converting the ulong (Title ID) into a byte array using by retrieving the bytes of the Title ID using BitConverter.GetBytes().
The title key encryption process starts by converting the ulong (Title ID) into a byte array using by retrieving the bytes of the Title ID using BitConverter.GetBytes().
If the converted bytes (title ID) are in Little Endian, reverse those bytes. (in C# it would be Array.Reverse(byte_array_from_bitconverter))
