Now the PS3 3.56 signing keys are outed a new custom firmware is currently under development, but due to Sony changed most of the locks, and is reportedly actually storing the all-important ECDSA private key with random-number cryptography this time around its taking a few days to complete. Beware though if you are upgrading to 3.56, there’s no easy way to back track and down grade.
