i want to know how devs use private and public keys on the ps3 to jailbreak it?

The jailbreak aren't the keys. There are here to sign application's and pkg's as valied so we dont have to use a JIG device to make them run or install.

If we would know the usb master key for they JIG on 3.6+ fw's we could jailbreak also the new one's without the need of public,erk,riv,curve type and private key.

No one except sony doesnt know the private keys. In 3.55 it was the flaw in sony's ECDSA algorithm that made possible for us to sign apps with our own keys ( public keys ) . We never knew the private key, and we never will know them...

would you also need peek and poke to run the pkgs or you just have to have them signed to run?

A jig I believe he is referring to the factory jig. It's a usb drive that does other functions for the ps3 service side. So perhaps u send ur unit... Hehe i said unit.. to Sony for repair. They fix it with the jig. Google it. ... New thoery...tb got their hands on one and are replicating the process. Wonder where @zadow28 is. Back to topic peek and poke are for backups so u can replicate a memory function to load and write.

U just need tgem signed to run. Hence why u can run a hfw 4.00 and u can install offical Sony signed pkgs. The keys are there to encrypt and decrypt different levels of code. Tone able to maybe find a diff exploit.
