Why are there valuable keys on the device? I (wrongly) assumed the device would only contain public keys to verify signed code.

- Namidairo 5y agoThey're AES keys, so the keys to decrypt and encrypt are the same. (Symmetric key)
- snthd 5y agoTo answer my own question, it's because the games are (symmetrical) encrypted. Skimming switchbrew it looks like there is public key crypto as well. https://switchbrew.org/wiki/NRR https://switchbrew.org/wiki/NRR So this key leak doesn't mean homebrew can be signed for unmodified consoles.
