image3maker is an Apple internal tool used to create img3 firmware files. It's implemented in mostly C with its symbols stripped. There is an open source version by the same name, Image3maker.

From the disassembly, it appears that the Key and IV are generated via /dev/random. The GID key is loaded in from a plist at /usr/local/standalone/firmware/platform_keys.plist in order to encrypt the KEY/IV fields within the KBAG (referred to as "Keybag").
