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.

The ECDSA private key for this cert is located 0x3C-bytes before this cert in internal memory, the 0x1E-bytes following this private key is padding. The ECDSA public key for this cert is converted from the ECDSA private key initialized by bootrom.
