ENL Key Generation

The page describes how ENL generates the game-specific key for Pia in LDN and LAN mode.

Algorithm

To generate the key, ENL uses the random number generator provided by SEAD, with a game-specific seed. It also uses a table of 32-bit integers provided by the game.

For each byte in the key ENL generates two random numbers: an index into the provided table and a 'byte index' or shift amount. ENL always generates 4 bytes at once and stores them into the key in little endian byte order. In Python, this could look as follows:

# Generates 4 bytes of the key and
# returns them as an integer
def create_key_part(rand, table):
    value = 0
    for i in range(4):
        index = rand.uint(len(table))
        shift = rand.uint(4) * 8
        byte = (table[index] >> shift) & 0xFF
        value = (value << 8) | byte
    return value

# Generates a key with the given random
# number generator and integer table
def create_key(rand, table, size):
    if size % 4:
        raise ValueError("Key size must be multiple of 4")
    
    key = b""
    for i in range(size // 4):
        value = create_key_part(rand, table)
        key += struct.pack("<I", value) #Little endian
    return key
