The master PS3 security key was found by infamous iPhone hacker, GeoHot. When the keys are applied to code, the PS3 will believe it an official piece of retail software.
By software signing homebrew, there will be no need for modchips, dongles, or any crazy soldering. If anyone remembers Dreamcast copies, it will be just like that, but with USB drives and 100% more Wii Emulators.
Since the PS3 wanted to badly integrate the PSP, the PSP master keys were found within the system too. Every piece of Sony gaming hardware has been hacked to the point of no repair.

this is a ton of reading and not really friendly to new visitors, but ...

Notes:
October 2010 - The original "ps3 hack" involved utilizing a USB dongle + power up method to boot the system into dev / service mode. From there, you are able to execute "unsigned" code from a FAT32 usb stick. (Homebrew code = USB game loaders and rippers, emulators, etc) The last available firmware to do this was the 3.41. Sony patched this quickly.
November 2010 - PS3 games weren't firmware specific. With the usb dongle, you could bypass update messages and play the latest games on legacy firmwares. Gamers were getting COD: Black Ops running on the 3.41, when Sony had already issued a 3.42 patch.
GT5 changed everything. It would not run on the 3.41 and enforced a 3.50 firmware rollup to play.
+ Now, the master key for security are being patched onto discs. There is no magic firmware anymore. Code is passing Sony's stock security without console modification. Sony cannot change the master key. By doing so, all previously issued software will fail to register as authentic.

More like the FDA did it, but he gave them the authority. So... yes. Kinda seems counter intuitive though...
as menthol is flavored tobacco.
And ROFL @ banning them because "children might smoke them". Everyone knows only potheads use those.
