Guess as to how HENkaku works

I'm guessing it injects private keys into the VITA's RAM that match up with the license files placed into ux0:license/app .
Since all the names on these files are the same for all the homebrew apps.

It could explain how the hack is lost on the loss of power to the Vita on a full shutdown. I assume it still works when the Vita runs out of battery because before dying the Vita backs up its RAM similar to what happens during hibernation on a PC.
