The secret key that was posted by Zibri and others has finally been explained by Geohot!

Geohot has revealed on his blog that the key is used to decrypt RAM disks!

Nice job to Zibri, the dev team, and whoever owns Austin Heap for finding this key, I'd love to see the hack used. Sadly this will not help us unlock BL 4.6 phones, or sign our own SDK apps; sign anything for that matter. But hopefully this key is deeply embedded in the iPhone, and decrypting all future ramdisks will be a piece of cake.
