2      Mechanisms

A mechanism specifies precisely how a certain cryptographic process is to be performed.  PKCS #11 implementations MAY use one of more mechanisms defined in this document.

The following table shows which Cryptoki mechanisms are supported by different cryptographic operations.  For any particular token, of course, a particular operation may well support only a subset of the mechanisms listed.  There is also no guarantee that a token which supports one mechanism for some operations supports any other mechanism for any other operation (or even supports that same mechanism for any other operation).  For example, even if a token is able to create RSA digital signatures with the CKM_RSA_PKCS mechanism, it may or may not be the case that the same token can also perform RSA encryption with CKM_RSA_PKCS.

Each mechanism description is be preceded by a table, of the following format, mapping mechanisms to API functions.

2 Single-part operations only.

3 Mechanism can only be used for wrapping, not unwrapping.

The remainder of this section will present in detail the mechanisms supported by Cryptoki and the parameters which are supplied to them.

In general, if a mechanism makes no mention of the ulMinKeyLen and ulMaxKeyLen fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure, then those fields have no meaning for that particular mechanism.

Depending on the token, there may be limits on the length of the key components.  See PKCS #1 for more information on RSA keys.

Tokens vary in what they actually store for RSA private keys.  Some tokens store all of the above attributes, which can assist in performing rapid RSA computations.  Other tokens might store only the CKA_MODULUS and CKA_PRIVATE_EXPONENT values.  Effective with version 2.40, tokens MUST also store CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT.  This permits the retrieval of sufficient data to reconstitute the associated public key.

Because of this, Cryptoki is flexible in dealing with RSA private key objects.  When a token generates an RSA private key, it stores whichever of the fields in Table 3 it keeps track of.  Later, if an application asks for the values of the key’s various attributes, Cryptoki supplies values only for attributes whose values it can obtain (i.e., if Cryptoki is asked for the value of an attribute it cannot obtain, the request fails).  Note that a Cryptoki implementation may or may not be able and/or willing to supply various attributes of RSA private keys which are not actually stored on the token.  E.g., if a particular token stores values only for the CKA_PRIVATE_EXPONENT, CKA_PRIME_1, and CKA_PRIME_2 attributes, then Cryptoki is certainly able to report values for all the attributes above (since they can all be computed efficiently from these three values).  However, a Cryptoki implementation may or may not actually do this extra computation.  The only attributes from Table 3 for which a Cryptoki implementation is required to be able to return values are CKA_MODULUS and CKA_PRIVATE_EXPONENT.

If an RSA private key object is created on a token, and more attributes from Table 3 are supplied to the object creation call than are supported by the token, the extra attributes are likely to be thrown away.  If an attempt is made to create an RSA private key object on a token with insufficient attributes for that particular token, then the object creation call fails and returns CKR_TEMPLATE_INCOMPLETE.

Note that when generating an RSA private key, there is no CKA_MODULUS_BITS attribute specified.  This is because RSA private keys are only generated as part of an RSA key pair, and the CKA_MODULUS_BITS attribute for the pair is specified in the template for the RSA public key.

The following is a sample template for creating an RSA private key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_PRIVATE_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_RSA;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “An RSA private key object”;

CK_BYTE subject[] = {...};

CK_BYTE id[] = {123};

CK_BYTE modulus[] = {...};

CK_BYTE publicExponent[] = {...};

CK_BYTE privateExponent[] = {...};

CK_BYTE prime1[] = {...};

CK_BYTE prime2[] = {...};

CK_BYTE exponent1[] = {...};

CK_BYTE exponent2[] = {...};

CK_BYTE coefficient[] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_SUBJECT, subject, sizeof(subject)},

  {CKA_ID, id, sizeof(id)},

  {CKA_SENSITIVE, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_DECRYPT, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_SIGN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_MODULUS, modulus, sizeof(modulus)},

  {CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT, publicExponent, sizeof(publicExponent)},

  {CKA_PRIVATE_EXPONENT, privateExponent, sizeof(privateExponent)},

  {CKA_PRIME_1, prime1, sizeof(prime1)},

  {CKA_PRIME_2, prime2, sizeof(prime2)},

  {CKA_EXPONENT_1, exponent1, sizeof(exponent1)},

  {CKA_EXPONENT_2, exponent2, sizeof(exponent2)},

  {CKA_COEFFICIENT, coefficient, sizeof(coefficient)}

};

2.1.4 PKCS #1 RSA key pair generation

The PKCS #1 RSA key pair generation mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_PKCS_KEY_PAIR_GEN, is a key pair generation mechanism based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem, as defined in PKCS #1.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates RSA public/private key pairs with a particular modulus length in bits and public exponent, as specified in the CKA_MODULUS_BITS and CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT attributes of the template for the public key. The  CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT  may  be  omitted  in which case the mechanism  shall  supply  the  public  exponent attribute using the default value  of  0x10001 (65537). Specific implementations may use a random value or an alternative default if 0x10001 cannot be used by the token.

Note:  Implementations  strictly  compliant  with  version  2.11  or prior versions  may  generate  an  error  if  this  attribute is omitted from the template.  Experience has shown that many implementations of 2.11 and prior did  allow  the  CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT  attribute  to  be  omitted  from the template, and behaved as described above. The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_MODULUS, and CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT attributes to the new public key.  CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT will  be  copied  from  the template if supplied. CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT shall  be  returned  if the implementation cannot use the supplied exponent value. It contributes the CKA_CLASS and CKA_KEY_TYPE attributes to the new private key; it may also contribute some of the following attributes to the new private key: CKA_MODULUS, CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT, CKA_PRIVATE_EXPONENT, CKA_PRIME_1, CKA_PRIME_2, CKA_EXPONENT_1, CKA_EXPONENT_2, CKA_COEFFICIENT.  Other attributes supported by the RSA public and private key types (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the keys support) may also be specified in the templates for the keys, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of RSA modulus sizes, in bits.

2.1.5 X9.31 RSA key pair generation

The X9.31 RSA key pair generation mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_X9_31_KEY_PAIR_GEN, is a key pair generation mechanism based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem, as defined in X9.31.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates RSA public/private key pairs with a particular modulus length in bits and public exponent, as specified in the CKA_MODULUS_BITS and CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT attributes of the template for the public key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_MODULUS, and CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT attributes to the new public key.  It contributes the CKA_CLASS and CKA_KEY_TYPE attributes to the new private key; it may also contribute some of the following attributes to the new private key: CKA_MODULUS, CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT, CKA_PRIVATE_EXPONENT, CKA_PRIME_1, CKA_PRIME_2, CKA_EXPONENT_1, CKA_EXPONENT_2, CKA_COEFFICIENT.  Other attributes supported by the RSA public and private key types (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the keys support) may also be specified in the templates for the keys, or else are assigned default initial values. Unlike the CKM_RSA_PKCS_KEY_PAIR_GEN mechanism, this mechanism is guaranteed to generate p and q values, CKA_PRIME_1 and CKA_PRIME_2 respectively, that meet the strong primes requirement of X9.31.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of RSA modulus sizes, in bits.

2.1.6 PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA

The PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_PKCS, is a multi-purpose mechanism based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem and the block formats initially defined in PKCS #1 v1.5.  It supports single-part encryption and decryption; single-part signatures and verification with and without message recovery; key wrapping; and key unwrapping.  This mechanism corresponds only to the part of PKCS #1 v1.5 that involves RSA; it does not compute a message digest or a DigestInfo encoding as specified for the md2withRSAEncryption and md5withRSAEncryption algorithms in PKCS #1 v1.5 .

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key of appropriate length.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every appropriate-length secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the “input” to the encryption operation is the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped; similarly for unwrapping.  The mechanism does not wrap the key type or any other information about the key, except the key length; the application must convey these separately.  In particular, the mechanism contributes only the CKA_CLASS and CKA_VALUE (and CKA_VALUE_LEN, if the key has it) attributes to the recovered key during unwrapping; other attributes must be specified in the template.

Constraints on key types and the length of the data are summarized in the following table.  For encryption, decryption, signatures and signature verification, the input and output data may begin at the same location in memory.  In the table, k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus.

It has a parameter, a CK_RSA_PKCS_OAEP_PARAMS structure.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key of appropriate length.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every appropriate-length secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the “input” to the encryption operation is the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped; similarly for unwrapping.  The mechanism does not wrap the key type or any other information about the key, except the key length; the application must convey these separately.  In particular, the mechanism contributes only the CKA_CLASS and CKA_VALUE (and CKA_VALUE_LEN, if the key has it) attributes to the recovered key during unwrapping; other attributes must be specified in the template.

The PKCS #1 RSA PSS mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_PKCS_PSS, is a mechanism based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem and the PSS block format defined in PKCS #1.  It supports single-part signature generation and verification without message recovery. This mechanism corresponds only to the part of PKCS #1 that involves block formatting and RSA, given a hash value; it does not compute a hash value on the message to be signed.

It has a parameter, a CK_RSA_PKCS_PSS_PARAMS structure. The sLen field must be less than or equal to k*-2-hLen and hLen is the length of the input to the C_Sign or C_Verify function. k* is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus, except if the length in bits of the RSA modulus is one more than a multiple of 8, in which case k* is one less than the length in bytes of the RSA modulus.

2.1.11 ISO/IEC 9796 RSA

The ISO/IEC 9796 RSA mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_9796, is a mechanism for single-part signatures and verification with and without message recovery based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem and the block formats defined in ISO/IEC 9796 and its annex A.

This mechanism processes only byte strings, whereas ISO/IEC 9796 operates on bit strings.  Accordingly, the following transformations are performed:

·         Data is converted between byte and bit string formats by interpreting the most-significant bit of the leading byte of the byte string as the leftmost bit of the bit string, and the least-significant bit of the trailing byte of the byte string as the rightmost bit of the bit string (this assumes the length in bits of the data is a multiple of 8).

·         A signature is converted from a bit string to a byte string by padding the bit string on the left with 0 to 7 zero bits so that the resulting length in bits is a multiple of 8, and converting the resulting bit string as above; it is converted from a byte string to a bit string by converting the byte string as above, and removing bits from the left so that the resulting length in bits is the same as that of the RSA modulus.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

Constraints on key types and the length of input and output data are summarized in the following table.  In the table, k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus.

2.1.12 X.509 (raw) RSA

The X.509 (raw) RSA mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_X_509, is a multi-purpose mechanism based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem. It supports single-part encryption and decryption; single-part signatures and verification with and without message recovery; key wrapping; and key unwrapping.  All these operations are based on so-called “raw” RSA, as assumed in X.509.

“Raw” RSA as defined here encrypts a byte string by converting it to an integer, most-significant byte first, applying “raw” RSA exponentiation, and converting the result to a byte string, most-significant byte first.  The input string, considered as an integer, must be less than the modulus; the output string is also less than the modulus.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key of appropriate length.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every appropriate-length secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the “input” to the encryption operation is the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped; similarly for unwrapping.  The mechanism does not wrap the key type, key length, or any other information about the key; the application must convey these separately, and supply them when unwrapping the key.

Unfortunately, X.509 does not specify how to perform padding for RSA encryption.  For this mechanism, padding should be performed by prepending plaintext data with 0-valued bytes.  In effect, to encrypt the sequence of plaintext bytes b1 b2 … bn (n £ k), Cryptoki forms P=2n-1b1+2n-2b2+…+bn.  This number must be less than the RSA modulus.  The k-byte ciphertext (k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus) is produced by raising P to the RSA public exponent modulo the RSA modulus.  Decryption of a k-byte ciphertext C is accomplished by raising C to the RSA private exponent modulo the RSA modulus, and returning the resulting value as a sequence of exactly k bytes.  If the resulting plaintext is to be used to produce an unwrapped key, then however many bytes are specified in the template for the length of the key are taken from the end of this sequence of bytes.

Technically, the above procedures may differ very slightly from certain details of what is specified in X.509.

Executing cryptographic operations using this mechanism can result in the error returns CKR_DATA_INVALID (if plaintext is supplied which has the same length as the RSA modulus and is numerically at least as large as the modulus) and CKR_ENCRYPTED_DATA_INVALID (if ciphertext is supplied which has the same length as the RSA modulus and is numerically at least as large as the modulus).

Constraints on key types and the length of input and output data are summarized in the following table.  In the table, k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of RSA modulus sizes, in bits.

This mechanism is intended for compatibility with applications that do not follow the PKCS #1 or ISO/IEC 9796 block formats.

2.1.13 ANSI X9.31 RSA

The ANSI X9.31 RSA mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_X9_31, is a mechanism for single-part signatures and verification without message recovery based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem and the block formats defined in ANSI X9.31.

This mechanism applies the header and padding fields of the hash encapsulation. The trailer field must be applied by the application.

This mechanism processes only byte strings, whereas ANSI X9.31 operates on bit strings.  Accordingly, the following transformations are performed:

·         Data is converted between byte and bit string formats by interpreting the most-significant bit of the leading byte of the byte string as the leftmost bit of the bit string, and the least-significant bit of the trailing byte of the byte string as the rightmost bit of the bit string (this assumes the length in bits of the data is a multiple of 8).

·         A signature is converted from a bit string to a byte string by padding the bit string on the left with 0 to 7 zero bits so that the resulting length in bits is a multiple of 8, and converting the resulting bit string as above; it is converted from a byte string to a bit string by converting the byte string as above, and removing bits from the left so that the resulting length in bits is the same as that of the RSA modulus.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

Constraints on key types and the length of input and output data are summarized in the following table.  In the table, k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus. For all operations, the k value must be at least 128 and a multiple of 32 as specified in ANSI X9.31.

2.1.14 PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with MD2, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, RIPE-MD 128 or RIPE-MD 160

The PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with MD2 mechanism, denoted CKM_MD2_RSA_PKCS, performs single- and multiple-part digital signatures and verification operations without message recovery.  The operations performed are as described initially in PKCS #1 v1.5 with the object identifier md2WithRSAEncryption, and as in the scheme RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 in the current version of PKCS #1, where the underlying hash function is MD2.

Similarly, the PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with MD5 mechanism, denoted CKM_MD5_RSA_PKCS, performs the same operations described in PKCS #1 with the object identifier md5WithRSAEncryption.  The PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with SHA-1 mechanism, denoted CKM_SHA1_RSA_PKCS, performs the same operations, except that it uses the hash function SHA-1 with object identifier sha1WithRSAEncryption.

Likewise, the PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 mechanisms, denoted CKM_SHA256_RSA_PKCS, CKM_SHA384_RSA_PKCS, and CKM_SHA512_RSA_PKCS respectively, perform the same operations using the SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hash functions with the object identifiers sha256WithRSAEncryption, sha384WithRSAEncryption and sha512WithRSAEncryption respectively.

The PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with RIPEMD-128 or RIPEMD-160, denoted CKM_RIPEMD128_RSA_PKCS and CKM_RIPEMD160_RSA_PKCS respectively, perform the same operations using the RIPE-MD 128 and RIPE-MD 160 hash functions.

None of these mechanisms has a parameter.

Constraints on key types and the length of the data for these mechanisms are summarized in the following table.  In the table, k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus.  For the PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with MD2 and PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with MD5 mechanisms, k must be at least 27; for the PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with SHA-1 mechanism, k must be at least 31, and so on for other underlying hash functions, where the minimum is always 11 bytes more than the length of the hash value.

The PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature with SHA-224 mechanism, denoted CKM_SHA224_RSA_PKCS, performs similarly as the other CKM_SHAX_RSA_PKCS mechanisms but uses the SHA-224 hash function.

2.1.16 PKCS #1 RSA PSS signature with SHA-224

The PKCS #1 RSA PSS signature with SHA-224 mechanism, denoted CKM_SHA224_RSA_PKCS_PSS, performs similarly as the other CKM_SHAX_RSA_PSS mechanisms but uses the SHA-224 hash function.

2.1.17 PKCS #1 RSA PSS signature with SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512

The PKCS #1 RSA PSS signature with SHA-1 mechanism, denoted CKM_SHA1_RSA_PKCS_PSS, performs single- and multiple-part digital signatures and verification operations without message recovery.  The operations performed are as described in PKCS #1 with the object identifier id-RSASSA-PSS, i.e., as in the scheme RSASSA-PSS in PKCS #1 where the underlying hash function is SHA-1.

The PKCS #1 RSA PSS signature with SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 mechanisms, denoted CKM_SHA256_RSA_PKCS_PSS, CKM_SHA384_RSA_PKCS_PSS, and CKM_SHA512_RSA_PKCS_PSS respectively, perform the same operations using the SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hash functions.

The mechanisms have a parameter, a CK_RSA_PKCS_PSS_PARAMS structure. The sLen field must be less than or equal to k*-2-hLen where hLen is the length in bytes of the hash value. k* is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus, except if the length in bits of the RSA modulus is one more than a multiple of 8, in which case k* is one less than the length in bytes of the RSA modulus.

Constraints on key types and the length of the data are summarized in the following table.  In the table, k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

Constraints on key types and the length of the data for these mechanisms are summarized in the following table.  In the table, k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus. For all operations, the k value must be at least 128 and a multiple of 32 as specified in ANSI X9.31.

2.1.19 TPM 1.1b and TPM 1.2 PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA

The TPM 1.1b and TPM 1.2 PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_PKCS_TPM_1_1, is a multi-use mechanism based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem and the block formats initially defined in PKCS #1 v1.5, with additional formatting rules defined in TCPA TPM Specification Version 1.1b.  Additional formatting rules remained the same in TCG TPM Specification 1.2  The mechanism supports single-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping. 

This mechanism does not have a parameter. It differs from the standard PKCS#1 v1.5 RSA encryption mechanism in that the plaintext is wrapped in a TCPA_BOUND_DATA (TPM_BOUND_DATA for TPM 1.2) structure before being submitted to the PKCS#1 v1.5 encryption process. On encryption, the version field of the TCPA_BOUND_DATA (TPM_BOUND_DATA for TPM 1.2) structure must contain 0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00. On decryption, any structure of the form 0x01, 0x01, 0xXX, 0xYY may be accepted.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key of appropriate length.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every appropriate-length secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the “input” to the encryption operation is the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped; similarly for unwrapping.  The mechanism does not wrap the key type or any other information about the key, except the key length; the application must convey these separately.  In particular, the mechanism contributes only the CKA_CLASS and CKA_VALUE (and CKA_VALUE_LEN, if the key has it) attributes to the recovered key during unwrapping; other attributes must be specified in the template.

Constraints on key types and the length of the data are summarized in the following table.  For encryption and decryption, the input and output data may begin at the same location in memory.  In the table, k is the length in bytes of the RSA modulus.

2.1.20 TPM 1.1b and TPM 1.2 PKCS #1 RSA OAEP

The TPM 1.1b and TPM 1.2 PKCS #1 RSA OAEP mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_PKCS_OAEP_TPM_1_1, is a multi-purpose mechanism based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem and the OAEP block format defined in PKCS #1, with additional formatting defined in TCPA TPM Specification Version 1.1b.  Additional formatting rules remained the same in TCG TPM Specification 1.2.  The mechanism supports single-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping. 

This mechanism does not have a parameter. It differs from the standard PKCS#1 OAEP RSA encryption mechanism in that the plaintext is wrapped in a TCPA_BOUND_DATA (TPM_BOUND_DATA for TPM 1.2) structure before being submitted to the encryption process and that all of the values of the parameters that are passed to a standard CKM_RSA_PKCS_OAEP operation are fixed. On encryption, the version field of the TCPA_BOUND_DATA (TPM_BOUND_DATA for TPM 1.2) structure must contain 0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00. On decryption, any structure of the form 0x01, 0x01, 0xXX, 0xYY may be accepted.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key of appropriate length.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every appropriate-length secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the “input” to the encryption operation is the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped; similarly for unwrapping.  The mechanism does not wrap the key type or any other information about the key, except the key length; the application must convey these separately.  In particular, the mechanism contributes only the CKA_CLASS and CKA_VALUE (and CKA_VALUE_LEN, if the key has it) attributes to the recovered key during unwrapping; other attributes must be specified in the template.

2.1.21 RSA AES KEY WRAP

 

The RSA AES key wrap mechanism, denoted CKM_RSA_AES_KEY_WRAP , is a mechanism based on the RSA public-key cryptosystem and the AES key wrap mechanism.  It supports single-part key wrapping; and key unwrapping.

It has a parameter, a CK_RSA_AES_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS structure.

The mechanism can wrap and unwrap a target asymmetric key of any length and type using an RSA key.

-          A temporary AES key is used for wrapping the target key using CKM_AES_KEY_WRAP_PAD mechanism.

-          The temporary AES key is wrapped with the wrapping RSA key using CKM_RSA_PKCS_OAEP mechanism.

 

For wrapping, the mechanism -                

 

The recommended format for an asymmetric target key being wrapped is as a PKCS8 PrivateKeyInfo

 

The use of Attributes in the PrivateKeyInfo structure  is OPTIONAL.  In case of conflicts between the object attribute template, and Attributes in the PrivateKeyInfo structure, an error  should be thrown

2.2.2 DSA public key objects

DSA public key objects (object class CKO_PUBLIC_KEY, key type CKK_DSA) hold DSA public keys.  The following table defines the DSA public key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

The CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME and CKA_BASE attribute values are collectively the “DSA domain parameters”.  See FIPS PUB 186-4 for more information on DSA keys.

The following is a sample template for creating a DSA public key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_PUBLIC_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_DSA;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “A DSA public key object”;

CK_BYTE prime[] = {...};

CK_BYTE subprime[] = {...};

CK_BYTE base[] = {...};

CK_BYTE value[] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_SUBPRIME, subprime, sizeof(subprime)},

  {CKA_BASE, base, sizeof(base)},

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

 

2.2.3 DSA Key Restrictions

FIPS PUB 186-4 specifies permitted combinations of prime and sub-prime lengths.  They are:

Earlier versions of FIPS 186 permitted smaller prime lengths, and those are included here for backwards compatibility.       An implementation that is compliant to FIPS 186-4 does not permit the use of primes of any length less than 1024 bits.

2.2.4 DSA private key objects

DSA private key objects (object class CKO_PRIVATE_KEY, key type CKK_DSA) hold DSA private keys.  The following table defines the DSA private key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

The CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME and CKA_BASE attribute values are collectively the “DSA domain parameters”.  See FIPS PUB 186-4 for more information on DSA keys.

Note that when generating a DSA private key, the DSA domain parameters are not specified in the key’s template.  This is because DSA private keys are only generated as part of a DSA key pair, and the DSA domain parameters for the pair are specified in the template for the DSA public key.

The following is a sample template for creating a DSA private key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_PRIVATE_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_DSA;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “A DSA private key object”;

CK_BYTE subject[] = {...};

CK_BYTE id[] = {123};

CK_BYTE prime[] = {...};

CK_BYTE subprime[] = {...};

CK_BYTE base[] = {...};

CK_BYTE value[] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_SUBJECT, subject, sizeof(subject)},

  {CKA_ID, id, sizeof(id)},

  {CKA_SENSITIVE, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_SIGN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_PRIME, prime, sizeof(prime)},

  {CKA_SUBPRIME, subprime, sizeof(subprime)},

  {CKA_BASE, base, sizeof(base)},

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.2.5 DSA domain parameter objects

DSA domain parameter objects (object class CKO_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS, key type CKK_DSA) hold DSA domain parameters.  The following table defines the DSA domain parameter object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

Table 21, DSA Domain Parameter Object Attributes

CKA_BASE1,4

Big integer

CKA_PRIME_BITS2,3

CK_ULONG

Length of the prime value.

- Refer to [PKCS #11-Base]  table 10 for footnotes

The CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME and CKA_BASE attribute values are collectively the “DSA domain parameters”.  See FIPS PUB 186-4 for more information on DSA domain parameters.

To ensure backwards compatibility, if CKA_SUBPRIME_BITS is not specified for a call to C_GenerateKey, it takes on a default based on the value of CKA_PRIME_BITS as follows:

 

The following is a sample template for creating a DSA domain parameter object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_DSA;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “A DSA domain parameter object”;

CK_BYTE prime[] = {...};

CK_BYTE subprime[] = {...};

CK_BYTE base[] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_PRIME, prime, sizeof(prime)},

  {CKA_SUBPRIME, subprime, sizeof(subprime)},

  {CKA_BASE, base, sizeof(base)},

};

2.2.6 DSA key pair generation

The DSA key pair generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DSA_KEY_PAIR_GEN, is a key pair generation mechanism based on the Digital Signature Algorithm defined in FIPS PUB 186-2.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates DSA public/private key pairs with a particular prime, subprime and base, as specified in the CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME, and CKA_BASE attributes of the template for the public key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new public key and the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME, CKA_BASE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new private key. Other attributes supported by the DSA public and private key types (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the keys support) may also be specified in the templates for the keys, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of DSA prime sizes, in bits.

2.2.7 DSA domain parameter generation

The DSA domain parameter generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DSA_PARAMETER_GEN, is a domain parameter generation mechanism based on the Digital Signature Algorithm defined in FIPS PUB 186-2.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates DSA domain parameters with a particular prime length in bits, as specified in the CKA_PRIME_BITS attribute of the template.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME, CKA_BASE and CKA_PRIME_BITS attributes to the new object. Other attributes supported by the DSA domain parameter types may also be specified in the template, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of DSA prime sizes, in bits.

2.2.8 DSA probabilistic domain parameter generation

The DSA probabilistic domain parameter generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DSA_PROBABLISTIC_PARAMETER_GEN, is a domain parameter generation mechanism based on the Digital Signature Algorithm defined in FIPS PUB 186-4, section Appendix A.1.1 Generation and Validation of Probable Primes..

This mechanism takes a CK_DSA_PARAMETER_GEN_PARAM which supplies the base hash and returns the seed (pSeed) and the length (ulSeedLen).

The mechanism generates DSA the prime and subprime domain parameters with a particular prime length in bits, as specified in the CKA_PRIME_BITS attribute of the template and the subprime length as specified in the CKA_SUBPRIME_BITS attribute of the template.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME, CKA_PRIME_BITS, and CKA_SUBPRIME_BITS attributes to the new object. CKA_BASE is not set by this call. Other attributes supported by the DSA domain parameter types may also be specified in the template, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of DSA prime sizes, in bits.

2.2.9 DSA Shawe-Taylor domain parameter generation

The DSA Shawe-Taylor domain parameter generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DSA_SHAWE_TAYLOR_PARAMETER_GEN, is a domain parameter generation mechanism based on the Digital Signature Algorithm defined in FIPS PUB 186-4, section Appendix A.1.2 Construction and Validation of Provable Primes p and q.

This mechanism takes a CK_DSA_PARAMETER_GEN_PARAM which supplies the base hash and returns the seed (pSeed) and the length (ulSeedLen).

The mechanism generates DSA the prime and subprime domain parameters with a particular prime length in bits, as specified in the CKA_PRIME_BITS attribute of the template and the subprime length as specified in the CKA_SUBPRIME_BITS attribute of the template.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME, CKA_PRIME_BITS, and CKA_SUBPRIME_BITS attributes to the new object. CKA_BASE is not set by this call. Other attributes supported by the DSA domain parameter types may also be specified in the template, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of DSA prime sizes, in bits.

2.2.10 DSA base domain parameter generation

The DSA base domain parameter generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DSA_FIPS_G_GEN, is a base parameter generation mechanism based on the Digital Signature Algorithm defined in FIPS PUB 186-4, section Appendix A.2 Generation of Generator G.

This mechanism takes a CK_DSA_PARAMETER_GEN_PARAM which supplies the base hash  the seed (pSeed) and the length (ulSeedLen) and the index value.

The mechanism generates the DSA base with the domain parameter specified in the CKA_PRIME and CKA_SUBPRIME attributes of the template.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_BASE attributes to the new object. Other attributes supported by the DSA domain parameter types may also be specified in the template, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of DSA prime sizes, in bits.

2.2.11 DSA without hashing

The DSA without hashing mechanism, denoted CKM_DSA, is a mechanism for single-part signatures and verification based on the Digital Signature Algorithm defined in FIPS PUB 186-2. (This mechanism corresponds only to the part of DSA that processes the 20-byte hash value; it does not compute the hash value.)

For the purposes of this mechanism, a DSA signature is a 40-byte string, corresponding to the concatenation of the DSA values r and s, each represented most-significant byte first.

It does not have a parameter.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

True if the mechanism can be used with EC domain parameters over Fp

CKF_EC_F_2M

0x00200000UL

True if the mechanism can be used with elliptic curve point uncompressed

CKF_EC_COMPRESS

0x02000000UL

True if the mechanism can be used with elliptic curve point compressed

In these standards, there are two different varieties of EC defined:

1.     EC using a field with an odd prime number of elements (i.e. the finite field Fp).

2.     EC using a field of characteristic two (i.e. the finite field F2m).

An EC key in Cryptoki contains information about which variety of EC it is suited for.  It is preferable that a Cryptoki library, which can perform EC mechanisms, be capable of performing operations with the two varieties of EC, however this is not required.  The CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure CKF_EC_F_P flag identifies a Cryptoki library supporting EC keys over Fp whereas the CKF_EC_F_2M flag identifies a Cryptoki library supporting EC keys over F2m.  A Cryptoki library that can perform EC mechanisms must set either or both of these flags for each EC mechanism.

In these specifications there are also three representation methods to define the domain parameters for an EC key.  Only the ecParameters and the namedCurve choices are supported in Cryptoki.  The CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure CKF_EC_ECPARAMETERS flag identifies a Cryptoki library supporting the ecParameters choice whereas the CKF_EC_NAMEDCURVE flag identifies a Cryptoki library supporting the namedCurve choice.  A Cryptoki library that can perform EC mechanisms must set either or both of these flags for each EC mechanism.

In these specifications, an EC public key (i.e. EC point Q) or the base point G when the ecParameters choice is used can be represented as an octet string of the uncompressed form or the compressed form.  The CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure CKF_EC_UNCOMPRESS flag identifies a Cryptoki library supporting the uncompressed form whereas the CKF_EC_COMPRESS flag identifies a Cryptoki library supporting the compressed form.  A Cryptoki library that can perform EC mechanisms must set either or both of these flags for each EC mechanism.

Note that an implementation of a Cryptoki library supporting EC with only one variety, one representation of domain parameters or one form may encounter difficulties achieving interoperability with other implementations.

If an attempt to create, generate, derive or unwrap an EC key of an unsupported curve is made, the attempt should fail with the error code CKR_CURVE_NOT_SUPPORTED.  If an attempt to create, generate, derive, or unwrap an EC key with invalid or of an unsupported representation of domain parameters is made, that attempt should fail with the error code CKR_DOMAIN_PARAMS_INVALID.  If an attempt to create, generate, derive, or unwrap an EC key of an unsupported form is made, that attempt should fail with the error code CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT.

2.3.1 EC Signatures

For the purposes of these mechanisms, an ECDSA signature is an octet string of even length which is at most two times nLen octets, where nLen is the length in octets of the base point order n. The signature octets correspond to the concatenation of the ECDSA values r and s, both represented as an octet string of equal length of at most nLen with the most significant byte first. If r and s have different octet length, the shorter of both must be padded with leading zero octets such that both have the same octet length. Loosely spoken, the first half of the signature is r and the second half is s. For signatures created by a token, the resulting signature is always of length 2nLen. For signatures passed to a token for verification, the signature may have a shorter length but must be composed as specified before.

If the length of the hash value is larger than the bit length of n, only the leftmost bits of the hash up to the length of n will be used. Any truncation is done by the token.

Note: For applications, it is recommended to encode the signature as an octet string of length two times nLen if possible. This ensures that the application works with PKCS#11 modules which have been implemented based on an older version of this document. Older versions required all signatures to have length two times nLen. It may be impossible to encode the signature with the maximum length of two times nLen if the application just gets the integer values of r and s (i.e. without leading zeros), but does not know the base point order n, because r and s can have any value between zero and the base point order n.

2.3.3 ECDSA public key objects

EC (also related to ECDSA) public key objects (object class CKO_PUBLIC_KEY, key type CKK_EC or CKK_ECDSA) hold EC public keys.  The following table defines the EC public key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

Table 30, Elliptic Curve Public Key Object Attributes

Attribute

Data type

Meaning

CKA_EC_PARAMS1,3 (CKA_ECDSA_PARAMS)

Byte array

DER-encoding of an ANSI X9.62 Parameters value

CKA_EC_POINT1,4

Byte array

DER-encoding of ANSI X9.62 ECPoint value Q

- Refer to [PKCS #11-Base]  table 10 for footnotes

The CKA_EC_PARAMS or CKA_ECDSA_PARAMS attribute value is known as the “EC domain parameters” and is defined in ANSI X9.62 as a choice of three parameter representation methods with the following syntax:

Parameters ::= CHOICE {

  ecParameters  ECParameters,

  namedCurve    CURVES.&id({CurveNames}),

  implicitlyCA  NULL

}

 

This allows detailed specification of all required values using choice ecParameters, the use of a namedCurve as an object identifier substitute for a particular set of elliptic curve domain parameters, or implicitlyCA to indicate that the domain parameters are explicitly defined elsewhere.  The use of a namedCurve is recommended over the choice ecParameters.  The choice implicitlyCA must not be used in Cryptoki.

The following is a sample template for creating an EC (ECDSA) public key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_PUBLIC_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_EC;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “An EC public key object”;

CK_BYTE ecParams[] = {...};

CK_BYTE ecPoint[] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_EC_PARAMS, ecParams, sizeof(ecParams)},

  {CKA_EC_POINT, ecPoint, sizeof(ecPoint)}

};

2.3.4 Elliptic curve private key objects

EC (also related to ECDSA) private key objects (object class CKO_PRIVATE_KEY, key type CKK_EC or CKK_ECDSA) hold EC private keys.  See Section 2.3 for more information about EC.  The following table defines the EC private key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

- Refer to [PKCS #11-Base]  table 10 for footnotes

The CKA_EC_PARAMS or CKA_ECDSA_PARAMS attribute value is known as the “EC domain parameters” and is defined in ANSI X9.62 as a choice of three parameter representation methods with the following syntax:

Parameters ::= CHOICE {

  ecParameters  ECParameters,

  namedCurve    CURVES.&id({CurveNames}),

  implicitlyCA  NULL

}

 

This allows detailed specification of all required values using choice ecParameters, the use of a namedCurve as an object identifier substitute for a particular set of elliptic curve domain parameters, or implicitlyCA to indicate that the domain parameters are explicitly defined elsewhere.  The use of a namedCurve is recommended over the choice ecParameters.  The choice implicitlyCA must not be used in Cryptoki.

Note that when generating an EC private key, the EC domain parameters are not specified in the key’s template.  This is because EC private keys are only generated as part of an EC key pair, and the EC domain parameters for the pair are specified in the template for the EC public key.

The following is a sample template for creating an EC (ECDSA) private key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_PRIVATE_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_EC;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “An EC private key object”;

CK_BYTE subject[] = {...};

CK_BYTE id[] = {123};

CK_BYTE ecParams[] = {...};

CK_BYTE value[] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_SUBJECT, subject, sizeof(subject)},

  {CKA_ID, id, sizeof(id)},

  {CKA_SENSITIVE, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_DERIVE, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_EC_PARAMS, ecParams, sizeof(ecParams)},

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.3.5 Elliptic curve key pair generation

The EC (also related to ECDSA) key pair generation mechanism, denoted CKM_EC_KEY_PAIR_GEN or CKM_ECDSA_KEY_PAIR_GEN, is a key pair generation mechanism for EC.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates EC public/private key pairs with particular EC domain parameters, as specified in the CKA_EC_PARAMS or CKA_ECDSA_PARAMS attribute of the template for the public key.  Note that this version of Cryptoki does not include a mechanism for generating these EC domain parameters.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_EC_POINT attributes to the new public key and the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_EC_PARAMS or CKA_ECDSA_PARAMS and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new private key.  Other attributes supported by the EC public and private key types (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the keys support) may also be specified in the templates for the keys, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the minimum and maximum supported number of bits in the field sizes, respectively.  For example, if a Cryptoki library supports only ECDSA using a field of characteristic 2 which has between 2200 and 2300 elements, then ulMinKeySize = 201 and ulMaxKeySize = 301 (when written in binary notation, the number 2200 consists of a 1 bit followed by 200 0 bits.  It is therefore a 201-bit number.  Similarly, 2300 is a 301-bit number).

2.3.6 ECDSA without hashing

Refer section 2.3.1 for signature encoding.

The ECDSA without hashing mechanism, denoted CKM_ECDSA, is a mechanism for single-part signatures and verification for ECDSA.  (This mechanism corresponds only to the part of ECDSA that processes the hash value, which should not be longer than 1024 bits; it does not compute the hash value.)

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

2 Data length, signature length.

3 Input the entire raw digest. Internally, this will be truncated to the appropriate number of bits.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the minimum and maximum supported number of bits in the field sizes, respectively.  For example, if a Cryptoki library supports only ECDSA using a field of characteristic 2 which has between 2200 and 2300 elements (inclusive), then ulMinKeySize = 201 and ulMaxKeySize = 301 (when written in binary notation, the number 2200 consists of a 1 bit followed by 200 0 bits.  It is therefore a 201-bit number.  Similarly, 2300 is a 301-bit number).

2.3.7 ECDSA with SHA-1

Refer to section 2.3.1 for signature encoding.

The ECDSA with SHA-1 mechanism, denoted CKM_ECDSA_SHA1, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part signatures and verification for ECDSA.  This mechanism computes the entire ECDSA specification, including the hashing with SHA-1.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the minimum and maximum supported number of bits in the field sizes, respectively.  For example, if a Cryptoki library supports only ECDSA using a field of characteristic 2 which has between 2200 and 2300 elements, then ulMinKeySize = 201 and ulMaxKeySize = 301 (when written in binary notation, the number 2200 consists of a 1 bit followed by 200 0 bits.  It is therefore a 201-bit number.  Similarly, 2300 is a 301-bit number).

2.3.8 EC mechanism parameters

¨       CK_EC_KDF_TYPE, CK_EC_KDF_TYPE_PTR

CK_EC_KDF_TYPE is used to indicate the Key Derivation Function (KDF) applied to derive keying data from a shared secret.  The key derivation function will be used by the EC key agreement schemes.  It is defined as follows:

typedef CK_ULONG CK_EC_KDF_TYPE;

 

The following table lists the defined functions.

Source Identifier

CKD_NULL

CKD_SHA1_KDF

CKD_SHA224_KDF

CKD_SHA256_KDF

CKD_SHA384_KDF

CKD_SHA512_KDF

The key derivation function CKD_NULL produces a raw shared secret value without applying any key derivation function whereas the key derivation function CKD_SHA1_KDF, which is based on SHA-1, derives keying data from the shared secret value as defined in ANSI X9.63.

CK_EC_KDF_TYPE_PTR is a pointer to a CK_EC_KDF_TYPE.

¨       CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS, CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS_PTR

CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS is a structure that provides the parameters for the CKM_ECDH1_DERIVE and CKM_ECDH1_COFACTOR_DERIVE key derivation mechanisms, where each party contributes one key pair.  The structure is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS {

   CK_EC_KDF_TYPE kdf;

   CK_ULONG ulSharedDataLen;

   CK_BYTE_PTR pSharedData;

   CK_ULONG ulPublicDataLen;

   CK_BYTE_PTR pPublicData;

} CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS;

 

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

                                            kdf       key derivation function used on the shared secret value

                       ulSharedDataLen       the length in bytes of the shared info

                             pSharedData       some data shared between the two parties

                         ulPublicDataLen       the length in bytes of the other party’s EC public key

                              pPublicData[1]       pointer to other party’s EC public key value. A token MUST be able to accept this value encoded as a raw octet string (as per section A.5.2 of [ANSI X9.62]).  A token MAY, in addition, support accepting this value as a DER-encoded ECPoint (as per section E.6 of [ANSI X9.62]) i.e. the same as a CKA_EC_POINT encoding.  The calling application is responsible for converting the offered public key to the compressed or uncompressed forms of these encodings if the token does not support the offered form.

With the key derivation function CKD_NULL, pSharedData must be NULL and ulSharedDataLen must be zero.  With the key derivation function CKD_SHA1_KDF, an optional pSharedData may be supplied, which consists of some data shared by the two parties intending to share the shared secret.  Otherwise, pSharedData must be NULL and ulSharedDataLen must be zero.

CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS.

 

¨       CK_ECMQV _DERIVE_PARAMS, CK_ECMQV_DERIVE_PARAMS_PTR

CK_ECMQV_DERIVE_PARAMS is a structure that provides the parameters to the CKM_ECMQV_DERIVE key derivation mechanism, where each party contributes two key pairs.  The structure is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_ECMQV_DERIVE_PARAMS {

   CK_EC_KDF_TYPE kdf;

   CK_ULONG ulSharedDataLen;

   CK_BYTE_PTR pSharedData;

   CK_ULONG ulPublicDataLen;

   CK_BYTE_PTR pPublicData;

   CK_ULONG ulPrivateDataLen;

   CK_OBJECT_HANDLE hPrivateData;

   CK_ULONG ulPublicDataLen2;

   CK_BYTE_PTR pPublicData2;

   CK_OBJECT_HANDLE publicKey;

} CK_ECMQV_DERIVE_PARAMS;

 

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

                                            kdf       key derivation function used on the shared secret value

                       ulSharedDataLen       the length in bytes of the shared info

                             pSharedData       some data shared between the two parties

                         ulPublicDataLen       the length in bytes of the other party’s first EC public key

                               pPublicData       pointer to other party’s first EC public key value. Encoding rules are as per pPublicData  of CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS

                       ulPrivateDataLen       the length in bytes of the second EC private key

                             hPrivateData       key handle for second EC private key value

                       ulPublicDataLen2       the length in bytes of the other party’s second EC public key

                             pPublicData2       pointer to other party’s second EC public key value. Encoding rules are as per pPublicData  of CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS

                                  publicKey       Handle to the first party’s ephemeral public key

With the key derivation function CKD_NULL, pSharedData must be NULL and ulSharedDataLen must be zero.  With the key derivation function CKD_SHA1_KDF, an optional pSharedData may be supplied, which consists of some data shared by the two parties intending to share the shared secret.  Otherwise, pSharedData must be NULL and ulSharedDataLen must be zero.

CK_ECMQV_DERIVE_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_ECMQV_DERIVE_PARAMS.

2.3.9 Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key derivation

The elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key derivation mechanism, denoted CKM_ECDH1_DERIVE, is a mechanism for key derivation based on the Diffie-Hellman version of the elliptic curve key agreement scheme, as defined in ANSI X9.63, where each party contributes one key pair all using the same EC domain parameters.

It has a parameter, a CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS structure.

This mechanism derives a secret value, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  (The truncation removes bytes from the leading end of the secret value.)  The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the minimum and maximum supported number of bits in the field sizes, respectively.  For example, if a Cryptoki library supports only EC using a field of characteristic 2 which has between 2200 and 2300 elements, then ulMinKeySize = 201 and ulMaxKeySize = 301 (when written in binary notation, the number 2200 consists of a 1 bit followed by 200 0 bits.  It is therefore a 201-bit number.  Similarly, 2300 is a 301-bit number).

2.3.10 Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman with cofactor key derivation

The elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) with cofactor key derivation mechanism, denoted CKM_ECDH1_COFACTOR_DERIVE, is a mechanism for key derivation based on the cofactor Diffie-Hellman version of the elliptic curve key agreement scheme, as defined in ANSI X9.63, where each party contributes one key pair all using the same EC domain parameters.  Cofactor multiplication is computationally efficient and helps to prevent security problems like small group attacks.

It has a parameter, a CK_ECDH1_DERIVE_PARAMS structure.

This mechanism derives a secret value, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  (The truncation removes bytes from the leading end of the secret value.)  The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the minimum and maximum supported number of bits in the field sizes, respectively.  For example, if a Cryptoki library supports only EC using a field of characteristic 2 which has between 2200 and 2300 elements, then ulMinKeySize = 201 and ulMaxKeySize = 301 (when written in binary notation, the number 2200 consists of a 1 bit followed by 200 0 bits.  It is therefore a 201-bit number.  Similarly, 2300 is a 301-bit number).

2.3.11 Elliptic curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone key derivation

The elliptic curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (ECMQV) key derivation mechanism, denoted CKM_ECMQV_DERIVE, is a mechanism for key derivation based the MQV version of the elliptic curve key agreement scheme, as defined in ANSI X9.63, where each party contributes two key pairs all using the same EC domain parameters.

It has a parameter, a CK_ECMQV_DERIVE_PARAMS structure.

This mechanism derives a secret value, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  (The truncation removes bytes from the leading end of the secret value.) The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the minimum and maximum supported number of bits in the field sizes, respectively.  For example, if a Cryptoki library supports only EC using a field of characteristic 2 which has between 2200 and 2300 elements, then ulMinKeySize = 201 and ulMaxKeySize = 301 (when written in binary notation, the number 2200 consists of a 1 bit followed by 200 0 bits.  It is therefore a 201-bit number.  Similarly, 2300 is a 301-bit number).

2.3.12 ECDH AES KEY WRAP

The ECDH AES KEY WRAP mechanism, denoted CKM_ECDH_AES_KEY_WRAP, is a mechanism based on elliptic curve public-key crypto-system and the AES key wrap mechanism.  It supports single-part key wrapping; and key unwrapping. 

It has a parameter, a CK_ECDH_AES_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS structure.

 

The mechanism can wrap and un-wrap an asymmetric target key of any length and type using an EC key.

-          A temporary AES key is derived from a temporary EC key and the wrapping EC key using the CKM_ECDH1_DERIVE mechanism.

-          The derived AES key is used for wrapping the target key using the CKM_AES_KEY_WRAP_PAD mechanism.

 

For wrapping, the mechanism -                

 

The recommended format for an asymmetric target key being wrapped is as a PKCS8 PrivateKeyInfo

 

The use of Attributes in the PrivateKeyInfo structure  is OPTIONAL.  In case of conflicts between the object attribute template, and Attributes in the PrivateKeyInfo structure, an error should be thrown.

 

For unwrapping, the mechanism -

Note: since the transport key and the wrapping EC key share the same domain, the length of the public key material of the transport key is the same length of the public key material of the unwrapping EC key.

The CKA_PRIME and CKA_BASE attribute values are collectively the “Diffie-Hellman domain parameters”.  Depending on the token, there may be limits on the length of the key components.  See PKCS #3 for more information on Diffie-Hellman keys.

Note that when generating a Diffie-Hellman private key, the Diffie-Hellman parameters are not specified in the key’s template.  This is because Diffie-Hellman private keys are only generated as part of a Diffie-Hellman key pair, and the Diffie-Hellman parameters for the pair are specified in the template for the Diffie-Hellman public key.

2.4.8 PKCS #3 Diffie-Hellman key pair generation

The PKCS #3 Diffie-Hellman key pair generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DH_PKCS_KEY_PAIR_GEN, is a key pair generation mechanism based on Diffie-Hellman key agreement, as defined in PKCS #3.  This is what PKCS #3 calls “phase I”.  It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates Diffie-Hellman public/private key pairs with a particular prime and base, as specified in the CKA_PRIME and CKA_BASE attributes of the template for the public key. If the CKA_VALUE_BITS attribute of the private key is specified, the mechanism limits the length in bits of the private value, as described in PKCS #3. 

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new public key and the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_BASE, and CKA_VALUE (and the CKA_VALUE_BITS attribute, if it is not already provided in the template) attributes to the new private key; other attributes required by the Diffie-Hellman public and private key types must be specified in the templates.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of Diffie-Hellman prime sizes, in bits.

2.4.9 PKCS #3 Diffie-Hellman domain parameter generation

The PKCS #3 Diffie-Hellman domain parameter generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DH_PKCS_PARAMETER_GEN, is a domain parameter generation mechanism based on Diffie-Hellman key agreement, as defined in PKCS #3.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates Diffie-Hellman domain parameters with a particular prime length in bits, as specified in the CKA_PRIME_BITS attribute of the template.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_BASE, and CKA_PRIME_BITS attributes to the new object. Other attributes supported by the Diffie-Hellman domain parameter types may also be specified in the template, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of Diffie-Hellman prime sizes, in bits.

2.4.10 PKCS #3 Diffie-Hellman key derivation

The PKCS #3 Diffie-Hellman key derivation mechanism, denoted CKM_DH_PKCS_DERIVE, is a mechanism for key derivation based on Diffie-Hellman key agreement, as defined in PKCS #3. This is what PKCS #3 calls “phase II”.

It has a parameter, which is the public value of the other party in the key agreement protocol, represented as a Cryptoki “Big integer” (i.e., a sequence of bytes, most-significant byte first).

This mechanism derives a secret key from a Diffie-Hellman private key and the public value of the other party.  It computes a Diffie-Hellman secret value from the public value and private key according to PKCS #3, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template. (The truncation removes bytes from the leading end of the secret value.) The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability[2]:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of Diffie-Hellman prime sizes, in bits.

¨       CK_X9_42_DH_KDF_TYPE, CK_X9_42_DH_KDF_TYPE_PTR

CK_X9_42_DH_KDF_TYPE is used to indicate the Key Derivation Function (KDF) applied to derive keying data from a shared secret.  The key derivation function will be used by the X9.42 Diffie-Hellman key agreement schemes.  It is defined as follows:

typedef CK_ULONG CK_X9_42_DH_KDF_TYPE;

 

The following table lists the defined functions.

2.4.12 X9.42 Diffie-Hellman key pair generation

The X9.42 Diffie-Hellman key pair generation mechanism, denoted CKM_X9_42_DH_KEY_PAIR_GEN, is a key pair generation mechanism based on Diffie-Hellman key agreement, as defined in the ANSI X9.42 standard.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates X9.42 Diffie-Hellman public/private key pairs with a particular prime, base and subprime, as specified in the CKA_PRIME, CKA_BASE and CKA_SUBPRIME attributes of the template for the public key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new public key and the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_BASE, CKA_SUBPRIME, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new private key; other attributes required by the X9.42 Diffie-Hellman public and private key types must be specified in the templates.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of X9.42 Diffie-Hellman prime sizes, in bits, for the CKA_PRIME attribute.

2.4.13 X9.42 Diffie-Hellman domain parameter generation

The X9.42 Diffie-Hellman domain parameter generation mechanism, denoted CKM_X9_42_DH_PARAMETER_GEN, is a domain parameters generation mechanism based on X9.42 Diffie-Hellman key agreement, as defined in the ANSI X9.42 standard.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates X9.42 Diffie-Hellman domain parameters with particular prime and subprime length in bits, as specified in the CKA_PRIME_BITS and CKA_SUBPRIME_BITS attributes of the template for the domain parameters.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_BASE, CKA_SUBPRIME, CKA_PRIME_BITS and CKA_SUBPRIME_BITS attributes to the new object.  Other attributes supported by the X9.42 Diffie-Hellman domain parameter types may also be specified in the template for the domain parameters, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of X9.42 Diffie-Hellman prime sizes, in bits.

2.4.14 X9.42 Diffie-Hellman key derivation

The X9.42 Diffie-Hellman key derivation mechanism, denoted CKM_X9_42_DH_DERIVE, is a mechanism for key derivation based on the Diffie-Hellman key agreement scheme, as defined in the ANSI X9.42 standard, where each party contributes one key pair, all using the same X9.42 Diffie-Hellman domain parameters.

It has a parameter, a CK_X9_42_DH1_DERIVE_PARAMS structure.

This mechanism derives a secret value, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  (The truncation removes bytes from the leading end of the secret value.)  The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template. Note that in order to validate this mechanism it may be required to use the CKA_VALUE attribute as the key of a general-length MAC mechanism (e.g. CKM_SHA_1_HMAC_GENERAL) over some test data.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of X9.42 Diffie-Hellman prime sizes, in bits, for the CKA_PRIME attribute.

2.4.15 X9.42 Diffie-Hellman hybrid key derivation

The X9.42 Diffie-Hellman hybrid key derivation mechanism, denoted CKM_X9_42_DH_HYBRID_DERIVE, is a mechanism for key derivation based on the Diffie-Hellman hybrid key agreement scheme, as defined in the ANSI X9.42 standard, where each party contributes two key pair, all using the same X9.42 Diffie-Hellman domain parameters.

It has a parameter, a CK_X9_42_DH2_DERIVE_PARAMS structure.

This mechanism derives a secret value, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  (The truncation removes bytes from the leading end of the secret value.)  The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template. Note that in order to validate this mechanism it may be required to use the CKA_VALUE attribute as the key of a general-length MAC mechanism (e.g. CKM_SHA_1_HMAC_GENERAL) over some test data.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of X9.42 Diffie-Hellman prime sizes, in bits, for the CKA_PRIME attribute.

2.4.16 X9.42 Diffie-Hellman Menezes-Qu-Vanstone key derivation

The X9.42 Diffie-Hellman Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (MQV) key derivation mechanism, denoted CKM_X9_42_MQV_DERIVE, is a mechanism for key derivation based the MQV scheme, as defined in the ANSI X9.42 standard, where each party contributes two key pairs, all using the same X9.42 Diffie-Hellman domain parameters.

It has a parameter, a CK_X9_42_MQV_DERIVE_PARAMS structure.

This mechanism derives a secret value, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  (The truncation removes bytes from the leading end of the secret value.) The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template. Note that in order to validate this mechanism it may be required to use the CKA_VALUE attribute as the key of a general-length MAC mechanism (e.g. CKM_SHA_1_HMAC_GENERAL) over some test data.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of X9.42 Diffie-Hellman prime sizes, in bits, for the CKA_PRIME attribute.

2.5 Wrapping/unwrapping private keys

Cryptoki Versions 2.01 and up allow the use of secret keys for wrapping and unwrapping RSA private keys, Diffie-Hellman private keys, X9.42 Diffie-Hellman private keys, EC (also related to ECDSA) private keys and DSA private keys.  For wrapping, a private key is BER-encoded according to PKCS #8’s PrivateKeyInfo ASN.1 type.  PKCS #8 requires an algorithm identifier for the type of the private key.  The object identifiers for the required algorithm identifiers are as follows:

rsaEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 1 }

 

dhKeyAgreement OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-3 1 }

 

dhpublicnumber OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) ansi-x942(10046) number-type(2) 1 }

 

id-ecPublicKey OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) ansi-x9-62(10045) publicKeyType(2) 1 }

 

id-dsa OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {

  iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) x9-57(10040) x9cm(4) 1 }

 

where

pkcs-1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {

  iso(1) member-body(2) US(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) 1 }

 

pkcs-3 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {

  iso(1) member-body(2) US(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) 3 }

 

These parameters for the algorithm identifiers have the following types, respectively:

NULL

 

DHParameter ::= SEQUENCE {

  prime              INTEGER,  -- p

  base               INTEGER,  -- g

  privateValueLength INTEGER OPTIONAL

}

 

DomainParameters ::= SEQUENCE {

  prime              INTEGER,  -- p

  base               INTEGER,  -- g

  subprime           INTEGER,  -- q

  cofactor           INTEGER OPTIONAL,  -- j

  validationParms    ValidationParms OPTIONAL

}

 

ValidationParms ::= SEQUENCE {

  Seed          BIT STRING, -- seed

  PGenCounter   INTEGER     -- parameter verification

}

 

Parameters ::= CHOICE {

  ecParameters  ECParameters,

  namedCurve    CURVES.&id({CurveNames}),

  implicitlyCA  NULL

}

 

Dss-Parms ::= SEQUENCE {

  p INTEGER,

  q INTEGER,

  g INTEGER

}

 

For the X9.42 Diffie-Hellman domain parameters, the cofactor and the validationParms optional fields should not be used when wrapping or unwrapping X9.42 Diffie-Hellman private keys since their values are not stored within the token.

For the EC domain parameters, the use of namedCurve is recommended over the choice ecParameters.  The choice implicitlyCA must not be used in Cryptoki.

Within the PrivateKeyInfo type:

·         RSA private keys are BER-encoded according to PKCS #1’s RSAPrivateKey ASN.1 type.  This type requires values to be present for all the attributes specific to Cryptoki’s RSA private key objects.  In other words, if a Cryptoki library does not have values for an RSA private key’s CKA_MODULUS, CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT, CKA_PRIVATE_EXPONENT, CKA_PRIME_1, CKA_PRIME_2, CKA_EXPONENT_1, CKA_EXPONENT2, and CKA_COEFFICIENT values, it must not create an RSAPrivateKey BER-encoding of the key, and so it must not prepare it for wrapping.

·         Diffie-Hellman private keys are represented as BER-encoded ASN.1 type INTEGER.

·         X9.42 Diffie-Hellman private keys are represented as BER-encoded ASN.1 type INTEGER.

·         EC (also related with ECDSA) private keys are BER-encoded according to SECG SEC 1 ECPrivateKey ASN.1 type:

ECPrivateKey ::= SEQUENCE {

   Version      INTEGER { ecPrivkeyVer1(1) } (ecPrivkeyVer1),

   privateKey   OCTET STRING,

   parameters   [0] Parameters OPTIONAL,

   publicKey    [1] BIT STRING OPTIONAL

}

 

Since the EC domain parameters are placed in the PKCS #8’s privateKeyAlgorithm field, the optional parameters field in an ECPrivateKey must be omitted.  A Cryptoki application must be able to unwrap an ECPrivateKey that contains the optional publicKey field; however, what is done with this publicKey field is outside the scope of Cryptoki.

·         DSA private keys are represented as BER-encoded ASN.1 type INTEGER.

Once a private key has been BER-encoded as a PrivateKeyInfo type, the resulting string of bytes is encrypted with the secret key.  This encryption must be done in CBC mode with PKCS padding.

Unwrapping a wrapped private key undoes the above procedure.  The CBC-encrypted ciphertext is decrypted, and the PKCS padding is removed.  The data thereby obtained are parsed as a PrivateKeyInfo type, and the wrapped key is produced.  An error will result if the original wrapped key does not decrypt properly, or if the decrypted unpadded data does not parse properly, or its type does not match the key type specified in the template for the new key.  The unwrapping mechanism contributes only those attributes specified in the PrivateKeyInfo type to the newly-unwrapped key; other attributes must be specified in the template, or will take their default values.

Earlier drafts of PKCS #11 Version 2.0 and Version 2.01 used the object identifier

DSA OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm 12 }

algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {

  iso(1) identifier-organization(3) oiw(14) secsig(3) algorithm(2) }

 

with associated parameters

DSAParameters ::= SEQUENCE {

  prime1 INTEGER,  -- modulus p

  prime2 INTEGER,  -- modulus q

  base INTEGER  -- base g

}

 

for wrapping DSA private keys.  Note that although the two structures for holding DSA domain parameters appear identical when instances of them are encoded, the two corresponding object identifiers are different.

2.6.1 Definitions

This section defines the key type “CKK_GENERIC_SECRET” for type CK_KEY_TYPE as used in the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of key objects.

Mechanisms:

CKM_GENERIC_SECRET_KEY_GEN

2.6.2 Generic secret key objects

Generic secret key objects (object class CKO_SECRET_KEY, key type CKK_GENERIC_SECRET) hold generic secret keys. These keys do not support encryption or decryption; however, other keys can be derived from them and they can be used in HMAC operations. The following table defines the generic secret key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

These key types are used in several of the mechanisms described in this section.

Table 45, Generic Secret Key Object Attributes

Attribute

Data type

Meaning

CKA_VALUE1,4,6,7

Byte array

Key value (arbitrary length)

CKA_VALUE_LEN2,3

CK_ULONG

Length in bytes of key value

- Refer to [PKCS #11-Base]  table 10 for footnotes

The following is a sample template for creating a generic secret key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_SECRET_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_GENERIC_SECRET;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “A generic secret key object”;

CK_BYTE value[] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_DERIVE, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

 

CKA_CHECK_VALUE: The value of this attribute is derived from the key object by taking the first three bytes of the SHA-1 hash of the generic secret key object’s CKA_VALUE attribute.

2.6.3 Generic secret key generation

The generic secret key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_GENERIC_SECRET_KEY_GEN, is used to generate generic secret keys. The generated keys take on any attributes provided in the template passed to the C_GenerateKey call, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute specifies the length of the key to be generated.

It does not have a parameter.

The template supplied must specify a value for the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute.  If the template specifies an object type and a class, they must have the following values:

   CK_OBJECT_CLASS = CKO_SECRET_KEY;

   CK_KEY_TYPE = CKK_GENERIC_SECRET;

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of key sizes, in bits.

2.7 HMAC mechanisms

Refer to RFC2104 and FIPS 198 for HMAC algorithm description.. The HMAC secret key shall correspond to the PKCS11 generic secret key type or the mechanism specific key types (see mechanism definition). Such keys, for use with HMAC operations can be created using C_CreateObject or C_GenerateKey.

The RFC also specifies test vectors for the various hash function based HMAC mechanisms described in the respective hash mechanism descriptions. The RFC should be consulted to obtain these test vectors.

The mechanism generates AES keys with a particular length in bytes, as specified in the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template for the key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the AES key type (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the key supports) may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of AES key sizes, in bytes.

2.8.4 AES-ECB

AES-ECB, denoted CKM_AES_ECB, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on NIST Advanced Encryption Standard and electronic codebook mode.

It does not have a parameter.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the mechanism encrypts the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped, padded on the trailing end with up to block size minus one null bytes so that the resulting length is a multiple of the block size. The output data is the same length as the padded input data. It does not wrap the key type, key length, or any other information about the key; the application must convey these separately.

For unwrapping, the mechanism decrypts the wrapped key, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one, and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

2.8.5 AES-CBC

AES-CBC, denoted CKM_AES_CBC, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on NIST’s Advanced Encryption Standard and cipher-block chaining mode.

It has a parameter, a 16-byte initialization vector.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the mechanism encrypts the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped, padded on the trailing end with up to block size minus one null bytes so that the resulting length is a multiple of the block size. The output data is the same length as the padded input data. It does not wrap the key type, key length, or any other information about the key; the application must convey these separately.

For unwrapping, the mechanism decrypts the wrapped key, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one, and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

2.8.6 AES-CBC with PKCS padding

AES-CBC with PKCS padding, denoted CKM_AES_CBC_PAD, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on NIST’s Advanced Encryption Standard; cipher-block chaining mode; and the block cipher padding method detailed in PKCS #7.

It has a parameter, a 16-byte initialization vector.

The PKCS padding in this mechanism allows the length of the plaintext value to be recovered from the ciphertext value.  Therefore, when unwrapping keys with this mechanism, no value should be specified for the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute.

In addition to being able to wrap and unwrap secret keys, this mechanism can wrap and unwrap RSA, Diffie-Hellman, X9.42 Diffie-Hellman, EC (also related to ECDSA) and DSA private keys (see Section 2.5 for details).  The entries in the table below for data length constraints when wrapping and unwrapping keys do not apply to wrapping and unwrapping private keys.

2.9.1 Definitions

Mechanisms:

CKM_AES_CTR                    

2.9.2 AES with Counter mechanism parameters

¨      CK_AES_CTR_PARAMS; CK_AES_CTR_PARAMS_PTR

CK_AES_CTR_PARAMS is a structure that provides the parameters to the CKM_AES_CTR mechanism.  It is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_AES_CTR_PARAMS {

        CK_ULONG ulCounterBits;

        CK_BYTE cb[16];

} CK_AES_CTR_PARAMS;

 

ulCounterBits specifies the number of bits in the counter block (cb) that shall be incremented. This number  shall be such that 0 < ulCounterBits <= 128. For any values outside this range the mechanism shall return CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID.

It's up to the caller to initialize all of the bits in the counter block including the counter bits. The counter bits are the least significant bits of the counter block (cb). They are a big-endian value usually starting with 1. The rest of ‘cb’ is for the nonce, and maybe an optional IV.

E.g. as defined in [RFC 3686]:

    0                   1                   2                   3
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                         Block Counter                         |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

 

This construction permits each packet to consist of up to 232-1 blocks  =  4,294,967,295 blocks = 68,719,476,720 octets.

CK_AES_CTR_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_AES_CTR_PARAMS.

2.9.3 AES with Counter Encryption / Decryption

Generic AES counter mode is described in NIST Special Publication 800-38A and in RFC 3686. These describe encryption using a counter block which may include a nonce to guarantee uniqueness of the counter block. Since the nonce is not incremented, the mechanism parameter must specify the number of counter bits in the counter block.

The block counter is incremented by 1 after each block of plaintext is processed. There is no support for any other increment functions in this mechanism.

If an attempt to encrypt/decrypt is made which will cause an overflow of the counter block’s counter bits, then the mechanism shall return CKR_DATA_LEN_RANGE. Note that the mechanism should allow the final post increment of the counter to overflow (if it implements it this way) but not allow any further processing after this point. E.g. if ulCounterBits = 2 and the counter bits start as 1 then only 3 blocks of data can be processed.

It has a parameter, a CK_MAC_GENERAL_PARAMS structure, which specifies the output length desired from the mechanism.

The output bytes from this mechanism are taken from the start of the final AES cipher block produced in the MACing process.

Mechanisms:

2.14.2 AES Key Wrap Mechanism parameters

The mechanisms will accept an optional mechanism parameter as the Initialization vector which, if present, must be a fixed size array of 8 bytes, and, if NULL, will use the default initial value defined in Section 2.2.3.1 of [AES KEYWRAP].

The type of this parameter is CK_BYTE_PTR and the pointer points to the array of 8 bytes to be used as the initial value. The length shall be either 0 and the pointer NULL, or 8, and the pointer non-NULL.

2.14.3 AES Key Wrap

The mechanisms support only single-part operations, single part wrapping and unwrapping, and single-part encryption and decryption.

The CKM_AES_KEY_WRAP mechanism can wrap a key of any length. A key whose length is not a multiple of the AES Key Wrap block size (8 bytes) will be zero padded to fit. The CKM_AES_KEY_WRAP mechanism can only encrypt a block of data whose size is an exact multiple of the AES Key Wrap algorithm block size.

The CKM_AES_KEY_WRAP_PAD mechanism can wrap a key or block of data of any length.  It does the usual padding of inputs (keys or data blocks) that are not multiples of the AES Key Wrap algorithm block size, always producing wrapped output that is larger than the input key/data to be wrapped. This padding is done by the token before being passed to the AES key wrap algorithm, which adds an 8 byte AES Key Wrap algorithm block of data.

2.15 Key derivation by data encryption – DES & AES

These mechanisms allow derivation of keys using the result of an encryption operation as the key value. They are for use with the C_DeriveKey function.

2.15.3 Mechanism Description

The mechanisms will function by performing the encryption over the data provided using the base key. The resulting cipher text shall be used to create the key value of the resulting key. If not all the cipher text is used then the part discarded will be from the trailing end (least significant bytes) of the cipher text data. The derived key shall be defined by the attribute template supplied but constrained by the length of cipher text available for the key value and other normal PKCS11 derivation constraints.

Attribute template handling, attribute defaulting and key value preparation will operate as per the SHA-1 Key Derivation mechanism in section 2.18.5.

If the data is too short to make the requested key then the mechanism returns CKR_DATA_LEN_RANGE.

2.16.1 Definitions

This section defines the key type “CKK_DES2” and “CKK_DES3” for type CK_KEY_TYPE as used in the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of key objects.

Mechanisms:

CKM_DES2_KEY_GEN              

CKM_DES3_KEY_GEN              

CKM_DES3_ECB                  

CKM_DES3_CBC

2.16.2 DES2 secret key objects

DES2 secret key objects (object class CKO_SECRET_KEY, key type CKK_DES2) hold double-length DES keys.  The following table defines the DES2 secret key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

Table 69, DES2 Secret Key Object Attributes

Attribute

Data type

Meaning

CKA_VALUE1,4,6,7

Byte array

Key value (always 16 bytes long)

- Refer to [PKCS #11-Base]  table 10 for footnotes

DES2 keys must always have their parity bits properly set as described in FIPS PUB 46-3 (i.e., each of the DES keys comprising a DES2 key must have its parity bits properly set).  Attempting to create or unwrap a DES2 key with incorrect parity will return an error.

The following is a sample template for creating a double-length DES secret key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_SECRET_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_DES2;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “A DES2 secret key object”;

CK_BYTE value[16] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_ENCRYPT, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

 

CKA_CHECK_VALUE: The value of this attribute is derived from the key object by taking the first three bytes of the ECB encryption of a single block of null (0x00) bytes, using the default cipher associated with the key type of the secret key object.

2.16.3 DES3 secret key objects

DES3 secret key objects (object class CKO_SECRET_KEY, key type CKK_DES3) hold triple-length DES keys.  The following table defines the DES3 secret key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

Table 70, DES3 Secret Key Object Attributes

Attribute

Data type

Meaning

CKA_VALUE1,4,6,7

Byte array

Key value (always 24 bytes long)

- Refer to [PKCS #11-Base]  table 10 for footnotes

DES3 keys must always have their parity bits properly set as described in FIPS PUB 46-3 (i.e., each of the DES keys comprising a DES3 key must have its parity bits properly set).  Attempting to create or unwrap a DES3 key with incorrect parity will return an error.

The following is a sample template for creating a triple-length DES secret key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_SECRET_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_DES3;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “A DES3 secret key object”;

CK_BYTE value[24] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_ENCRYPT, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

 

CKA_CHECK_VALUE: The value of this attribute is derived from the key object by taking the first three bytes of the ECB encryption of a single block of null (0x00) bytes, using the default cipher associated with the key type of the secret key object.

2.16.4 Double-length DES key generation

The double-length DES key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DES2_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism for double-length DES keys.  The DES keys making up a double-length DES key both have their parity bits set properly, as specified in FIPS PUB 46-3.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the double-length DES key type (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the key supports) may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values.

Double-length DES keys can be used with all the same mechanisms as triple-DES keys: CKM_DES3_ECB, CKM_DES3_CBC, CKM_DES3_CBC_PAD, CKM_DES3_MAC_GENERAL, and CKM_DES3_MAC.  Triple-DES encryption with a double-length DES key is equivalent to encryption with a triple-length DES key with K1=K3 as specified in FIPS PUB 46-3.

When double-length DES keys are generated, it is token-dependent whether or not it is possible for either of the component DES keys to be “weak” or “semi-weak” keys.

2.16.5 Triple-length DES Order of Operations

Triple-length DES encryptions are carried out as specified in FIPS PUB 46-3: encrypt, decrypt, encrypt. Decryptions are carried out with the opposite three steps: decrypt, encrypt, decrypt. The mathematical representations of the encrypt and decrypt operations are as follows:

DES3-E({K1,K2,K3}, P) = E(K3, D(K2, E(K1, P)))

DES3-D({K1,K2,K3}, C) = D(K1, E(K2, D(K3, P)))

2.16.6 Triple-length DES in CBC Mode

Triple-length DES operations in CBC mode, with double or triple-length keys, are performed using outer CBC as defined in X9.52. X9.52 describes this mode as TCBC. The mathematical representations of the CBC encrypt and decrypt operations are as follows:

DES3-CBC-E({K1,K2,K3}, P) = E(K3, D(K2, E(K1, P + I)))

DES3-CBC-D({K1,K2,K3}, C) = D(K1, E(K2, D(K3, P))) + I

The value I is either an 8-byte initialization vector or the previous block of cipher text that is added to the current input block. The addition operation is used is addition modulo-2 (XOR).

2.17.2 Mechanism parameters

CKM_DES3_CMAC_GENERAL uses the existing CK_MAC_GENERAL_PARAMS structure. CKM_DES3_CMAC does not use a mechanism parameter.

2.17.3 General-length DES3-MAC

General-length DES3-CMAC, denoted CKM_DES3_CMAC_GENERAL, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part signatures and verification with DES3 or DES2 keys, based on [NIST sp800-38b].

It has a parameter, a CK_MAC_GENERAL_PARAMS structure, which specifies the output length desired from the mechanism.

The output bytes from this mechanism are taken from the start of the final DES3 cipher block produced in the MACing process.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

any

C_Verify

Reference [NIST sp800-38b] recommends that the output MAC is not truncated to less than 64 bits (which means using the entire block for DES). The MAC length must be specified before the communication starts, and must not be changed during the lifetime of the key. It is the caller’s responsibility to follow these rules.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure are not used

2.17.4 DES3-CMAC

DES3-CMAC, denoted CKM_DES3_CMAC, is a special case of the general-length DES3-CMAC mechanism. DES3-MAC always produces and verifies MACs that are a full block size in length, since the DES3 block length is the minimum output length recommended by [NIST sp800-38b].

2.18.3 General-length SHA-1-HMAC

The general-length SHA-1-HMAC mechanism, denoted CKM_SHA_1_HMAC_GENERAL, is a mechanism for signatures and verification.  It uses the HMAC construction, based on the SHA-1 hash function.  The keys it uses are generic secret keys and CKK_SHA_1_HMAC.

It has a parameter, a CK_MAC_GENERAL_PARAMS, which holds the length in bytes of the desired output.  This length should be in the range 0-20 (the output size of SHA-1 is 20 bytes).  Signatures (MACs) produced by this mechanism will be taken from the start of the full 20-byte HMAC output.

2.18.4 SHA-1-HMAC

The SHA-1-HMAC mechanism, denoted CKM_SHA_1_HMAC, is a special case of the general-length SHA-1-HMAC mechanism in Section 2.18.3.

It has no parameter, and always produces an output of length 20.

2.18.5 SHA-1 key derivation

SHA-1 key derivation, denoted CKM_SHA1_KEY_DERIVATION, is a mechanism which provides the capability of deriving a secret key by digesting the value of another secret key with SHA-1.

The value of the base key is digested once, and the result is used to make the value of derived secret key.

·         If no length or key type is provided in the template, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key.  Its length will be 20 bytes (the output size of SHA-1).

·         If no key type is provided in the template, but a length is, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key of the specified length.

·         If no length was provided in the template, but a key type is, then that key type must have a well-defined length.  If it does, then the key produced by this mechanism will be of the type specified in the template.  If it doesn’t, an error will be returned.

·         If both a key type and a length are provided in the template, the length must be compatible with that key type.  The key produced by this mechanism will be of the specified type and length.

If a DES, DES2, or CDMF key is derived with this mechanism, the parity bits of the key will be set properly.

If the requested type of key requires more than 20 bytes, such as DES3, an error is generated.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

2.26.4 PKCS #5 PBKD2 key generation

PKCS #5 PBKDF2 key generation, denoted CKM_PKCS5_PBKD2, is a mechanism used for generating a secret key from a password and a salt value. This functionality is defined in PKCS#5 as PBKDF2.

It has a parameter, a CK_PKCS5_PBKD2_PARAMSPARAMS2 structure.  The parameter specifies the salt value source, pseudo-random function, and iteration count used to generate the new key.

Since this mechanism can be used to generate any type of secret key, new key templates must contain the CKA_KEY_TYPE and CKA_VALUE_LEN attributes. If the key type has a fixed length the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute may be omitted.

2.27 PKCS #12 password-based encryption/authentication mechanisms

The mechanisms in this section are for generating keys and IVs for performing password-based encryption or authentication.  The method used to generate keys and IVs is based on a method that was specified in PKCS #12.

We specify here a general method for producing various types of pseudo-random bits from a password, p; a string of salt bits, s; and an iteration count, c.  The “type” of pseudo-random bits to be produced is identified by an identification byte, ID, the meaning of which will be discussed later.

Let H be a hash function built around a compression function f: Z2u ´ Z2v ® Z2u (that is, H has a chaining variable and output of length u bits, and the message input to the compression function of H is v bits).  For MD2 and MD5, u=128 and v=512; for SHA-1, u=160 and v=512.

We assume here that u and v are both multiples of 8, as are the lengths in bits of the password and salt strings and the number n of pseudo-random bits required.  In addition, u and v are of course nonzero.

1.     Construct a string, D (the “diversifier”), by concatenating v/8 copies of ID.

2.     Concatenate copies of the salt together to create a string S of length v×és/vù bits (the final copy of the salt may be truncated to create S).  Note that if the salt is the empty string, then so is S.

3.     Concatenate copies of the password together to create a string P of length v×ép/vù bits (the final copy of the password may be truncated to create P).  Note that if the password is the empty string, then so is P.

4.     Set I=S||P to be the concatenation of S and P.

5.     Set j=én/uù.

6.     For i=1, 2, …, j, do the following:

a.     Set Ai=Hc(D||I), the cth hash of D||I.  That is, compute the hash of D||I; compute the hash of that hash; etc.; continue in this fashion until a total of c hashes have been computed, each on the result of the previous hash.

b.    Concatenate copies of Ai to create a string B of length v bits (the final copy of Ai may be truncated to create B).

c.     Treating I as a concatenation I0, I1, …, Ik-1 of v-bit blocks, where k=és/vù+ép/vù, modify I by setting Ij=(Ij+B+1) mod 2v for each j.  To perform this addition, treat each v-bit block as a binary number represented most-significant bit first.

7.     Concatenate A1, A2, …, Aj together to form a pseudo-random bit string, A.

8.     Use the first n bits of A as the output of this entire process.

When the password-based encryption mechanisms presented in this section are used to generate a key and IV (if needed) from a password, salt, and an iteration count, the above algorithm is used.  To generate a key, the identifier byte ID is set to the value 1; to generate an IV, the identifier byte ID is set to the value 2.

When the password based authentication mechanism presented in this section is used to generate a key from a password, salt, and an iteration count, the above algorithm is used.  The identifier byte ID is set to the value 3.

2.27.1 SHA-1-PBE for 3-key triple-DES-CBC

SHA-1-PBE for 3-key triple-DES-CBC, denoted CKM_PBE_SHA1_DES3_EDE_CBC, is a mechanism used for generating a 3-key triple-DES secret key and IV from a password and a salt value by using the SHA-1 digest algorithm and an iteration count.  The method used to generate the key and IV is described above.  Each byte of the key produced will have its low-order bit adjusted, if necessary, so that a valid 3-key triple-DES key with proper parity bits is obtained.

It has a parameter, a CK_PBE_PARAMS structure.  The parameter specifies the input information for the key generation process and the location of the application-supplied buffer which will receive the 8-byte IV generated by the mechanism.

The key and IV produced by this mechanism will typically be used for performing password-based encryption.

2.27.2 SHA-1-PBE for 2-key triple-DES-CBC

SHA-1-PBE for 2-key triple-DES-CBC, denoted CKM_PBE_SHA1_DES2_EDE_CBC, is a mechanism used for generating a 2-key triple-DES secret key and IV from a password and a salt value by using the SHA-1 digest algorithm and an iteration count.  The method used to generate the key and IV is described above.  Each byte of the key produced will have its low-order bit adjusted, if necessary, so that a valid 2-key triple-DES key with proper parity bits is obtained.

It has a parameter, a CK_PBE_PARAMS structure.  The parameter specifies the input information for the key generation process and the location of the application-supplied buffer which will receive the 8-byte IV generated by the mechanism.

The key and IV produced by this mechanism will typically be used for performing password-based encryption.

2.27.3 SHA-1-PBA for SHA-1-HMAC

SHA-1-PBA for SHA-1-HMAC, denoted CKM_PBA_SHA1_WITH_SHA1_HMAC, is a mechanism used for generating a 160-bit generic secret key from a password and a salt value by using the SHA-1 digest algorithm and an iteration count.  The method used to generate the key is described above.

It has a parameter, a CK_PBE_PARAMS structure.  The parameter specifies the input information for the key generation process. The parameter also has a field to hold the location of an application-supplied buffer which will receive an IV; for this mechanism, the contents of this field are ignored, since authentication with SHA-1-HMAC does not require an IV.

The key generated by this mechanism will typically be used for computing a SHA-1 HMAC to perform password-based authentication (not password-based encryption).  At the time of this writing, this is primarily done to ensure the integrity of a PKCS #12 PDU.

2.28.3 Pre-master key generation

Pre-master key generation in SSL 3.0, denoted CKM_SSL3_PRE_MASTER_KEY_GEN, is a mechanism which generates a 48-byte generic secret key.  It is used to produce the "pre_master" key used in SSL version 3.0 for RSA-like cipher suites.

It has one parameter, a CK_VERSION structure, which provides the client’s SSL version number.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key (as well as the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute, if it is not supplied in the template). Other attributes may be specified in the template, or else are assigned default values.

The template sent along with this mechanism during a C_GenerateKey call may indicate that the object class is CKO_SECRET_KEY, the key type is CKK_GENERIC_SECRET, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute has value 48.  However, since these facts are all implicit in the mechanism, there is no need to specify any of them.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure both indicate 48 bytes.

2.28.4 Master key derivation

Master key derivation in SSL 3.0, denoted CKM_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE, is a mechanism used to derive one 48-byte generic secret key from another 48-byte generic secret key.  It is used to produce the "master_secret" key used in the SSL protocol from the "pre_master" key.  This mechanism returns the value of the client version, which is built into the "pre_master" key as well as a handle to the derived "master_secret" key.

It has a parameter, a CK_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of random data to the token as well as the returning of the protocol version number which is part of the pre-master key.  This structure is defined in Section 2.28.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key (as well as the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute, if it is not supplied in the template).  Other attributes may be specified in the template; otherwise they are assigned default values.

The template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey call may indicate that the object class is CKO_SECRET_KEY, the key type is CKK_GENERIC_SECRET, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute has value 48.  However, since these facts are all implicit in the mechanism, there is no need to specify any of them.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure both indicate 48 bytes.

Note that the CK_VERSION structure pointed to by the CK_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure’s pVersion field will be modified by the C_DeriveKey call.  In particular, when the call returns, this structure will hold the SSL version associated with the supplied pre_master key.

Note that this mechanism is only useable for cipher suites that use a 48-byte “pre_master” secret with an embedded version number. This includes the RSA cipher suites, but excludes the Diffie-Hellman cipher suites.

2.28.5 Master key derivation for Diffie-Hellman

Master key derivation for Diffie-Hellman in SSL 3.0, denoted CKM_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_DH, is a mechanism used to derive one 48-byte generic secret key from another arbitrary length generic secret key.  It is used to produce the "master_secret" key used in the SSL protocol from the "pre_master" key.

It has a parameter, a CK_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of random data to the token.  This structure is defined in Section 2.28. The pVersion field of the structure must be set to NULL_PTR since the version number is not embedded in the "pre_master" key as it is for RSA-like cipher suites.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key (as well as the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute, if it is not supplied in the template).  Other attributes may be specified in the template, or else are assigned default values.

The template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey call may indicate that the object class is CKO_SECRET_KEY, the key type is CKK_GENERIC_SECRET, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute has value 48.  However, since these facts are all implicit in the mechanism, there is no need to specify any of them.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure both indicate 48 bytes.

Note that this mechanism is only useable for cipher suites that do not use a fixed length 48-byte “pre_master” secret with an embedded version number. This includes the Diffie-Hellman cipher suites, but excludes the RSA cipher suites.

2.28.6 Key and MAC derivation

Key, MAC and IV derivation in SSL 3.0, denoted CKM_SSL3_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE, is a mechanism used to derive the appropriate cryptographic keying material used by a "CipherSuite" from the "master_secret" key and random data. This mechanism returns the key handles for the keys generated in the process, as well as the IVs created.

It has a parameter, a CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of random data as well as the characteristic of the cryptographic material for the given CipherSuite and a pointer to a structure which receives the handles and IVs which were generated. This structure is defined in Section 2.28.

This mechanism contributes to the creation of four distinct keys on the token and returns two IVs (if IVs are requested by the caller) back to the caller. The keys are all given an object class of CKO_SECRET_KEY.

The two MACing keys ("client_write_MAC_secret" and "server_write_MAC_secret") are always given a type of CKK_GENERIC_SECRET. They are flagged as valid for signing, verification, and derivation operations.

The other two keys ("client_write_key" and "server_write_key") are typed according to information found in the template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey function call.  By default, they are flagged as valid for encryption, decryption, and derivation operations.

IVs will be generated and returned if the ulIVSizeInBits field of the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_PARAMS field has a nonzero value.  If they are generated, their length in bits will agree with the value in the ulIVSizeInBits field.

All four keys inherit the values of the CKA_SENSITIVE, CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE, CKA_EXTRACTABLE, and CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attributes from the base key.  The template provided to C_DeriveKey may not specify values for any of these attributes which differ from those held by the base key.

Note that the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_OUT structure pointed to by the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure’s pReturnedKeyMaterial field will be modified by the C_DeriveKey call.  In particular, the four key handle fields in the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_OUT structure will be modified to hold handles to the newly-created keys; in addition, the buffers pointed to by the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_OUT structure’s pIVClient and pIVServer fields will have IVs returned in them (if IVs are requested by the caller).  Therefore, these two fields must point to buffers with sufficient space to hold any IVs that will be returned.

This mechanism departs from the other key derivation mechanisms in Cryptoki in its returned information. For most key-derivation mechanisms, C_DeriveKey returns a single key handle as a result of a successful completion. However, since the CKM_SSL3_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE mechanism returns all of its key handles in the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_OUT structure pointed to by the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure specified as the mechanism parameter, the parameter phKey passed to C_DeriveKey is unnecessary, and should be a NULL_PTR.

If a call to C_DeriveKey with this mechanism fails, then none of the four keys will be created on the token.

2.28.7 MD5 MACing in SSL 3.0

MD5 MACing in SSL3.0, denoted CKM_SSL3_MD5_MAC, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part signatures (data authentication) and verification using MD5, based on the SSL 3.0 protocol. This technique is very similar to the HMAC technique.

It has a parameter, a CK_MAC_GENERAL_PARAMS, which specifies the length in bytes of the signatures produced by this mechanism.

Constraints on key types and the length of input and output data are summarized in the following table:

Function

Data length

Signature length

C_Sign

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of generic secret key sizes, in bits.

2.28.8 SHA-1 MACing in SSL 3.0

SHA-1 MACing in SSL3.0, denoted CKM_SSL3_SHA1_MAC, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part signatures (data authentication) and verification using SHA-1, based on the SSL 3.0 protocol. This technique is very similar to the HMAC technique.

It has a parameter, a CK_MAC_GENERAL_PARAMS, which specifies the length in bytes of the signatures produced by this mechanism.

Constraints on key types and the length of input and output data are summarized in the following table:

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of generic secret key sizes, in bits.

2.29 TLS 1.2 Mechanisms

Details for TLS 1.2 and its key derivation and MAC mechanisms can be found in [TLS 1.2]. TLS 1.2 mechanisms differ from TLS 1.0 and 1.1 mechanisms in that the base hash used in the underlying TLS PRF (pseudo-random function) can be negotiated. Therefore each mechanism parameter for the TLS 1.2 mechanisms contains a new value in the parameters structure to specify the hash function.

This section also specifies CKM_TLS_MAC which should be used in place of CKM_TLS_PRF to calculate the verify_data in the TLS "finished" message.

This section also specifies CKM_TLS_KDF that can be used in place of CKM_TLS_PRF to implement key material exporters.

2.29.3 TLS MAC

The TLS MAC mechanism is used to generate integrity tags for the TLS "finished" message. It replaces the use of the CKM_TLS_PRF function for TLS1.0 and 1.1 and that mechanism is deprecated.

CKM_TLS_MAC takes a parameter of CK_TLS_MAC_PARAMS.  To use this mechanism with TLS1.0 and TLS1.1, use CKM_TLS_PRF as the value for prfMechanism in place of a hash mechanism. Note: Although CKM_TLS_PRF is deprecated as a mechanism for C_DeriveKey, the manifest value is retained for use with this mechanism to indicate the use of the TLS1.0/1.1 pseudo-random function.

In TLS1.0 and 1.1 the "finished" message verify_data (i.e. the output signature from the MAC mechanism) is always 12 bytes.  In TLS1.2 the "finished" message verify_data is a minimum of 12 bytes, defaults to 12 bytes, but may be negotiated to longer length.

2.29.4 Master key derivation

Master key derivation in TLS 1.0, denoted CKM_TLS_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE, is a mechanism used to derive one 48-byte generic secret key from another 48-byte generic secret key.  It is used to produce the "master_secret" key used in the TLS protocol from the "pre_master" key.  This mechanism returns the value of the client version, which is built into the "pre_master" key as well as a handle to the derived "master_secret" key.

It has a parameter, a CK_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of random data to the token as well as the returning of the protocol version number which is part of the pre-master key.  This structure is defined in Section 2.28.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key (as well as the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute, if it is not supplied in the template).  Other attributes may be specified in the template, or else are assigned default values.

The mechanism also contributes the CKA_ALLOWED_MECHANISMS attribute consisting only of CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE, CKM_TLS12_KEY_SAFE_DERIVE, CKM_TLS12_KDF and CKM_TLS12_MAC.

The template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey call may indicate that the object class is CKO_SECRET_KEY, the key type is CKK_GENERIC_SECRET, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute has value 48.  However, since these facts are all implicit in the mechanism, there is no need to specify any of them.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure both indicate 48 bytes.

Note that the CK_VERSION structure pointed to by the CK_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure’s pVersion field will be modified by the C_DeriveKey call.  In particular, when the call returns, this structure will hold the SSL version associated with the supplied pre_master key.

Note that this mechanism is only useable for cipher suites that use a 48-byte “pre_master” secret with an embedded version number. This includes the RSA cipher suites, but excludes the Diffie-Hellman cipher suites.

2.29.5 Master key derivation for Diffie-Hellman

Master key derivation for Diffie-Hellman in TLS 1.0, denoted CKM_TLS_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_DH, is a mechanism used to derive one 48-byte generic secret key from another arbitrary length generic secret key.  It is used to produce the "master_secret" key used in the TLS protocol from the "pre_master" key.

It has a parameter, a CK_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of random data to the token.  This structure is defined in Section 2.28. The pVersion field of the structure must be set to NULL_PTR since the version number is not embedded in the "pre_master" key as it is for RSA-like cipher suites.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key (as well as the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute, if it is not supplied in the template).  Other attributes may be specified in the template, or else are assigned default values.

The mechanism also contributes the CKA_ALLOWED_MECHANISMS attribute consisting only of CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE, CKM_TLS12_KEY_SAFE_DERIVE, CKM_TLS12_KDF and CKM_TLS12_MAC.

The template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey call may indicate that the object class is CKO_SECRET_KEY, the key type is CKK_GENERIC_SECRET, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute has value 48.  However, since these facts are all implicit in the mechanism, there is no need to specify any of them.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE.  If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

·         If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well.  If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too.  If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure both indicate 48 bytes.

Note that this mechanism is only useable for cipher suites that do not use a fixed length 48-byte “pre_master” secret with an embedded version number. This includes the Diffie-Hellman cipher suites, but excludes the RSA cipher suites.

2.29.6 Key and MAC derivation

Key, MAC and IV derivation in TLS 1.0, denoted CKM_TLS_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE, is a mechanism used to derive the appropriate cryptographic keying material used by a "CipherSuite" from the "master_secret" key and random data. This mechanism returns the key handles for the keys generated in the process, as well as the IVs created.

It has a parameter, a CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of random data as well as the characteristic of the cryptographic material for the given CipherSuite and a pointer to a structure which receives the handles and IVs which were generated. This structure is defined in Section 2.28.

This mechanism contributes to the creation of four distinct keys on the token and returns two IVs (if IVs are requested by the caller) back to the caller. The keys are all given an object class of CKO_SECRET_KEY.

The two MACing keys ("client_write_MAC_secret" and "server_write_MAC_secret") (if present) are always given a type of CKK_GENERIC_SECRET. They are flagged as valid for signing and verification.

The other two keys ("client_write_key" and "server_write_key") are typed according to information found in the template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey function call.  By default, they are flagged as valid for encryption, decryption, and derivation operations.

For CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE, IVs will be generated and returned if the ulIVSizeInBits field of the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_PARAMS field has a nonzero value.  If they are generated, their length in bits will agree with the value in the ulIVSizeInBits field.

 

Note Well: CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE produces both private (key) and public (IV) data.  It is possible to "leak" private data by the simple expedient of decreasing the length of private data requested.  E.g. Setting ulMacSizeInBits and ulKeySizeInBits to 0 (or other lengths less than the key size) will result in the private key data being placed in the destination designated for the IV's.  Repeated calls with the same master key and same RandomInfo but with differing lengths for the private key material will result in different data being leaked.<

 

All four keys inherit the values of the CKA_SENSITIVE, CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE, CKA_EXTRACTABLE, and CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attributes from the base key.  The template provided to C_DeriveKey may not specify values for any of these attributes which differ from those held by the base key.

Note that the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_OUT structure pointed to by the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure’s pReturnedKeyMaterial field will be modified by the C_DeriveKey call.  In particular, the four key handle fields in the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_OUT structure will be modified to hold handles to the newly-created keys; in addition, the buffers pointed to by the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_OUT structure’s pIVClient and pIVServer fields will have IVs returned in them (if IVs are requested by the caller).  Therefore, these two fields must point to buffers with sufficient space to hold any IVs that will be returned.

This mechanism departs from the other key derivation mechanisms in Cryptoki in its returned information. For most key-derivation mechanisms, C_DeriveKey returns a single key handle as a result of a successful completion. However, since the CKM_SSL3_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE mechanism returns all of its key handles in the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_OUT structure pointed to by the CK_SSL3_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure specified as the mechanism parameter, the parameter phKey passed to C_DeriveKey is unnecessary, and should be a NULL_PTR.

If a call to C_DeriveKey with this mechanism fails, then none of the four keys will be created on the token.

2.29.7 CKM_TLS12_KEY_SAFE_DERIVE

CKM_TLS12_KEY_SAFE_DERIVE is identical to CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE except that it shall never produce IV data, and the  ulIvSizeInBits field of CK_TLS12_KEY_MAT_PARAMS is ignored and treated as 0.  All of the other conditions  and behavior described for CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE, with the exception of the black box warning, apply to this mechanism.

CKM_TLS12_KEY_SAFE_DERIVE is provided as a separate mechanism to allow a client to control the export of IV material (and possible leaking of key material) through the use of the CKA_ALLOWED_MECHANISMS key attribute.

2.29.8 Generic Key Derivation using the TLS PRF

CKM_TLS_KDF is the mechanism defined in RFC5705. It uses the TLS key material and TLS PRF function to produce additional key material for protocols that want to leverage the TLS key negotiation mechanism.  CKM_TLS_KDF has a parameter of CK_TLS_KDF_PARAMS.  If the protocol using this mechanism does not use context information, the pContextData field shall be set to NULL_PTR and the ulContextDataLength field shall be set to 0.

To use this mechanism with TLS1.0 and TLS1.1, use CKM_TLS_PRF as the value for prfMechanism in place of a hash mechanism. Note: Although CKM_TLS_PRF is deprecated as a mechanism for C_DeriveKey, the manifest value is retained for use with this mechanism to indicate the use of the TLS1.0/1.1 Pseudo-random function.

This mechanism can be used to derive multiple keys (e.g. similar to CKM_TLS12_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE) by first deriving the key stream as a CKK_GENERIC_SECRET of the necessary length and doing subsequent derives against that derived key stream using the CKM_EXTRACT_KEY_FROM_KEY mechanism to split the key stream into the actual operational keys.

The mechanism should not be used with the labels defined for use with TLS, but the token does not enforce this behavior.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         If the original key has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_SENSITIVE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from the original key.

·         Similarly, if the original key has its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from the original key.

·         The derived key’s CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the original key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

·         Similarly, the derived key’s CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the original key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

2.30 WTLS

Details can be found in [WTLS].

When comparing the existing TLS mechanisms with these extensions to support WTLS one could argue that there would be no need to have distinct handling of the client and server side of the handshake. However, since in WTLS the server and client use different sequence numbers, there could be instances (e.g. when WTLS is used to protect asynchronous protocols) where sequence numbers on the client and server side differ, and hence this motivates the introduced split.

2.30.3 Pre master secret key generation for RSA key exchange suite

Pre master secret key generation for the RSA key exchange suite in WTLS denoted CKM_WTLS_PRE_MASTER_KEY_GEN, is a mechanism, which generates a variable length secret key. It is used to produce the pre master secret key for RSA key exchange suite used in WTLS. This mechanism returns a handle to the pre master secret key.

It has one parameter, a CK_BYTE, which provides the client’s WTLS version.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key (as well as the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute, if it is not supplied in the template). Other attributes may be specified in the template, or else are assigned default values.

The template sent along with this mechanism during a C_GenerateKey call may indicate that the object class is CKO_SECRET_KEY, the key type is CKK_GENERIC_SECRET, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute indicates the length of the pre master secret key.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize field of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure shall indicate 20 bytes.

2.30.4 Master secret key derivation

Master secret derivation in WTLS, denoted CKM_WTLS_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE, is a mechanism used to derive a 20 byte generic secret key from variable length secret key. It is used to produce the master secret key used in WTLS from the pre master secret key. This mechanism returns the value of the client version, which is built into the pre master secret key as well as a handle to the derived master secret key.

It has a parameter, a CK_WTLS_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure, which allows for passing the mechanism type of the digest mechanism to be used as well as the passing of random data to the token as well as the returning of the protocol version number which is part of the pre master secret key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key (as well as the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute, if it is not supplied in the template). Other attributes may be specified in the template, or else are assigned default values.

The template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey call may indicate that the object class is CKO_SECRET_KEY, the key type is CKK_GENERIC_SECRET, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute has value 20. However, since these facts are all implicit in the mechanism, there is no need to specify any of them.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE. If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well. If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too. If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure both indicate 20 bytes.

Note that the CK_BYTE pointed to by the CK_WTLS_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure’s pVersion field will be modified by the C_DeriveKey call. In particular, when the call returns, this byte will hold the WTLS version associated with the supplied pre master secret key.

Note that this mechanism is only useable for key exchange suites that use a 20-byte pre master secret key with an embedded version number. This includes the RSA key exchange suites, but excludes the Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic Curve Cryptography key exchange suites.

2.30.5 Master secret key derivation for Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Master secret derivation for Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic Curve Cryptography in WTLS, denoted CKM_WTLS_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_DH_ECC, is a mechanism used to derive a 20 byte generic secret key from variable length secret key. It is used to produce the master secret key used in WTLS from the pre master secret key. This mechanism returns a handle to the derived master secret key.

It has a parameter, a CK_WTLS_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of the mechanism type of the digest mechanism to be used as well as random data to the token. The pVersion field of the structure must be set to NULL_PTR since the version number is not embedded in the pre master secret key as it is for RSA-like key exchange suites.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key (as well as the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute, if it is not supplied in the template). Other attributes may be specified in the template, or else are assigned default values.

The template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey call may indicate that the object class is CKO_SECRET_KEY, the key type is CKK_GENERIC_SECRET, and the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute has value 20. However, since these facts are all implicit in the mechanism, there is no need to specify any of them.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

The CKA_SENSITIVE and CKA_EXTRACTABLE attributes in the template for the new key can both be specified to be either CK_TRUE or CK_FALSE. If omitted, these attributes each take on some default value.

If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will as well. If the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to the same value as its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute.

Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then the derived key will, too. If the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE, then the derived key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to the opposite value from its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure both indicate 20 bytes.

Note that this mechanism is only useable for key exchange suites that do not use a fixed length 20-byte pre master secret key with an embedded version number. This includes the Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic Curve Cryptography key exchange suites, but excludes the RSA key exchange suites.

2.30.6 WTLS PRF (pseudorandom function)

PRF (pseudo random function) in WTLS, denoted CKM_WTLS_PRF, is a mechanism used to produce a securely generated pseudo-random output of arbitrary length. The keys it uses are generic secret keys.

It has a parameter, a CK_WTLS_PRF_PARAMS structure, which allows for passing the mechanism type of the digest mechanism to be used, the passing of the input seed and its length, the passing of an identifying label and its length and the passing of the length of the output to the token and for receiving the output.

This mechanism produces securely generated pseudo-random output of the length specified in the parameter.

This mechanism departs from the other key derivation mechanisms in Cryptoki in not using the template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey function call, which means the template shall be a NULL_PTR. For most key-derivation mechanisms, C_DeriveKey returns a single key handle as a result of a successful completion. However, since the CKM_WTLS_PRF mechanism returns the requested number of output bytes in the CK_WTLS_PRF_PARAMS structure specified as the mechanism parameter, the parameter phKey passed to C_DeriveKey is unnecessary, and should be a NULL_PTR.

If a call to C_DeriveKey with this mechanism fails, then no output will be generated.

2.30.7 Server Key and MAC derivation

Server key, MAC and IV derivation in WTLS, denoted CKM_WTLS_SERVER_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE, is a mechanism used to derive the appropriate cryptographic keying material used by a cipher suite from the master secret key and random data. This mechanism returns the key handles for the keys generated in the process, as well as the IV created.

It has a parameter, a CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of the mechanism type of the digest mechanism to be used, random data, the characteristic of the cryptographic material for the given cipher suite, and a pointer to a structure which receives the handles and IV which were generated.

This mechanism contributes to the creation of two distinct keys and returns one IV (if an IV is requested by the caller) back to the caller. The keys are all given an object class of CKO_SECRET_KEY.

The MACing key (server write MAC secret) is always given a type of CKK_GENERIC_SECRET. It is flagged as valid for signing, verification and derivation operations.

The other key (server write key) is typed according to information found in the template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey function call. By default, it is flagged as valid for encryption, decryption, and derivation operations.

An IV (server write IV) will be generated and returned if the ulIVSizeInBits field of the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_PARAMS field has a nonzero value. If it is generated, its length in bits will agree with the value in the ulIVSizeInBits field

Both keys inherit the values of the CKA_SENSITIVE, CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE, CKA_EXTRACTABLE, and CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attributes from the base key. The template provided to C_DeriveKey may not specify values for any of these attributes that differ from those held by the base key.

Note that the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_OUT structure pointed to by the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure’s pReturnedKeyMaterial field will be modified by the C_DeriveKey call. In particular, the two key handle fields in the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_OUT structure will be modified to hold handles to the newly-created keys; in addition, the buffer pointed to by the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_OUT structure’s pIV field will have the IV returned in them (if an IV is requested by the caller). Therefore, this field must point to a buffer with sufficient space to hold any IV that will be returned.

This mechanism departs from the other key derivation mechanisms in Cryptoki in its returned information. For most key-derivation mechanisms, C_DeriveKey returns a single key handle as a result of a successful completion. However, since the CKM_WTLS_SERVER_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE mechanism returns all of its key handles in the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_OUT structure pointed to by the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure specified as the mechanism parameter, the parameter phKey passed to C_DeriveKey is unnecessary, and should be a NULL_PTR.

If a call to C_DeriveKey with this mechanism fails, then none of the two keys will be created.

 

2.30.8 Client key and MAC derivation

Client key, MAC and IV derivation in WTLS, denoted CKM_WTLS_CLIENT_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE, is a mechanism used to derive the appropriate cryptographic keying material used by a cipher suite from the master secret key and random data. This mechanism returns the key handles for the keys generated in the process, as well as the IV created.

It has a parameter, a CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure, which allows for the passing of the mechanism type of the digest mechanism to be used, random data, the characteristic of the cryptographic material for the given cipher suite, and a pointer to a structure which receives the handles and IV which were generated.

This mechanism contributes to the creation of two distinct keys and returns one IV (if an IV is requested by the caller) back to the caller. The keys are all given an object class of CKO_SECRET_KEY.

The MACing key (client write MAC secret) is always given a type of CKK_GENERIC_SECRET. It is flagged as valid for signing, verification and derivation operations.

The other key (client write key) is typed according to information found in the template sent along with this mechanism during a C_DeriveKey function call. By default, it is flagged as valid for encryption, decryption, and derivation operations.

An IV (client write IV) will be generated and returned if the ulIVSizeInBits field of the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_PARAMS field has a nonzero value. If it is generated, its length in bits will agree with the value in the ulIVSizeInBits field

Both keys inherit the values of the CKA_SENSITIVE, CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE, CKA_EXTRACTABLE, and CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attributes from the base key. The template provided to C_DeriveKey may not specify values for any of these attributes that differ from those held by the base key.

Note that the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_OUT structure pointed to by the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure’s pReturnedKeyMaterial field will be modified by the C_DeriveKey call. In particular, the two key handle fields in the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_OUT structure will be modified to hold handles to the newly-created keys; in addition, the buffer pointed to by the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_OUT structure’s pIV field will have the IV returned in them (if an IV is requested by the caller). Therefore, this field must point to a buffer with sufficient space to hold any IV that will be returned.

This mechanism departs from the other key derivation mechanisms in Cryptoki in its returned information. For most key-derivation mechanisms, C_DeriveKey returns a single key handle as a result of a successful completion. However, since the CKM_WTLS_CLIENT_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE mechanism returns all of its key handles in the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_OUT structure pointed to by the CK_WTLS_KEY_MAT_PARAMS structure specified as the mechanism parameter, the parameter phKey passed to C_DeriveKey is unnecessary, and should be a NULL_PTR.

If a call to C_DeriveKey with this mechanism fails, then none of the two keys will be created.

typedef CK_ULONG CK_EXTRACT_PARAMS;

 

CK_EXTRACT_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_EXTRACT_PARAMS.

2.31.3 Concatenation of a base key and another key

This mechanism, denoted CKM_CONCATENATE_BASE_AND_KEY, derives a secret key from the concatenation of two existing secret keys.  The two keys are specified by handles; the values of the keys specified are concatenated together in a buffer.

This mechanism takes a parameter, a CK_OBJECT_HANDLE.  This handle produces the key value information which is appended to the end of the base key’s value information (the base key is the key whose handle is supplied as an argument to C_DeriveKey).

For example, if the value of the base key is 0x01234567, and the value of the other key is 0x89ABCDEF, then the value of the derived key will be taken from a buffer containing the string 0x0123456789ABCDEF. 

·         If no length or key type is provided in the template, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key.  Its length will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the values of the two original keys.

·         If no key type is provided in the template, but a length is, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key of the specified length.

·         If no length is provided in the template, but a key type is, then that key type must have a well-defined length.  If it does, then the key produced by this mechanism will be of the type specified in the template.  If it doesn’t, an error will be returned.

·         If both a key type and a length are provided in the template, the length must be compatible with that key type.  The key produced by this mechanism will be of the specified type and length.

If a DES, DES2, DES3, or CDMF key is derived with this mechanism, the parity bits of the key will be set properly.

If the requested type of key requires more bytes than are available by concatenating the two original keys’ values, an error is generated.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         If either of the two original keys has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_SENSITIVE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         Similarly, if either of the two original keys has its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         The derived key’s CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if both of the original keys have their CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attributes set to CK_TRUE.

·         Similarly, the derived key’s CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if both of the original keys have their CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attributes set to CK_TRUE.

2.31.4 Concatenation of a base key and data

This mechanism, denoted CKM_CONCATENATE_BASE_AND_DATA, derives a secret key by concatenating data onto the end of a specified secret key.

This mechanism takes a parameter, a CK_KEY_DERIVATION_STRING_DATA structure, which specifies the length and value of the data which will be appended to the base key to derive another key.

For example, if the value of the base key is 0x01234567, and the value of the data is 0x89ABCDEF, then the value of the derived key will be taken from a buffer containing the string 0x0123456789ABCDEF. 

·         If no length or key type is provided in the template, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key.  Its length will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the value of the original key and the data.

·         If no key type is provided in the template, but a length is, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key of the specified length.

·         If no length is provided in the template, but a key type is, then that key type must have a well-defined length.  If it does, then the key produced by this mechanism will be of the type specified in the template.  If it doesn’t, an error will be returned.

·         If both a key type and a length are provided in the template, the length must be compatible with that key type.  The key produced by this mechanism will be of the specified type and length.

If a DES, DES2, DES3, or CDMF key is derived with this mechanism, the parity bits of the key will be set properly.

If the requested type of key requires more bytes than are available by concatenating the original key’s value and the data, an error is generated.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         If the base key has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_SENSITIVE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         The derived key’s CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

·         Similarly, the derived key’s CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

2.31.5 Concatenation of data and a base key

This mechanism, denoted CKM_CONCATENATE_DATA_AND_BASE, derives a secret key by prepending data to the start of a specified secret key.

This mechanism takes a parameter, a CK_KEY_DERIVATION_STRING_DATA structure, which specifies the length and value of the data which will be prepended to the base key to derive another key.

For example, if the value of the base key is 0x01234567, and the value of the data is 0x89ABCDEF, then the value of the derived key will be taken from a buffer containing the string 0x89ABCDEF01234567. 

·         If no length or key type is provided in the template, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key.  Its length will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the data and the value of the original key.

·         If no key type is provided in the template, but a length is, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key of the specified length.

·         If no length is provided in the template, but a key type is, then that key type must have a well-defined length.  If it does, then the key produced by this mechanism will be of the type specified in the template.  If it doesn’t, an error will be returned.

·         If both a key type and a length are provided in the template, the length must be compatible with that key type.  The key produced by this mechanism will be of the specified type and length.

If a DES, DES2, DES3, or CDMF key is derived with this mechanism, the parity bits of the key will be set properly.

If the requested type of key requires more bytes than are available by concatenating the data and the original key’s value, an error is generated.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         If the base key has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_SENSITIVE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         The derived key’s CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

·         Similarly, the derived key’s CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

2.31.6 XORing of a key and data

XORing key derivation, denoted CKM_XOR_BASE_AND_DATA, is a mechanism which provides the capability of deriving a secret key by performing a bit XORing of a key pointed to by a base key handle and some data.

This mechanism takes a parameter, a CK_KEY_DERIVATION_STRING_DATA structure, which specifies the data with which to XOR the original key’s value.

For example, if the value of the base key is 0x01234567, and the value of the data is 0x89ABCDEF, then the value of the derived key will be taken from a buffer containing the string 0x88888888.

·         If no length or key type is provided in the template, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key.  Its length will be equal to the minimum of the lengths of the data and the value of the original key.

·         If no key type is provided in the template, but a length is, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key of the specified length.

·         If no length is provided in the template, but a key type is, then that key type must have a well-defined length.  If it does, then the key produced by this mechanism will be of the type specified in the template.  If it doesn’t, an error will be returned.

·         If both a key type and a length are provided in the template, the length must be compatible with that key type.  The key produced by this mechanism will be of the specified type and length.

If a DES, DES2, DES3, or CDMF key is derived with this mechanism, the parity bits of the key will be set properly.

If the requested type of key requires more bytes than are available by taking the shorter of the data and the original key’s value, an error is generated.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         If the base key has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_SENSITIVE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         The derived key’s CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

·         Similarly, the derived key’s CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

2.31.7 Extraction of one key from another key

Extraction of one key from another key, denoted CKM_EXTRACT_KEY_FROM_KEY, is a mechanism which provides the capability of creating one secret key from the bits of another secret key.

This mechanism has a parameter, a CK_EXTRACT_PARAMS, which specifies which bit of the original key should be used as the first bit of the newly-derived key.

We give an example of how this mechanism works.  Suppose a token has a secret key with the 4-byte value 0x329F84A9.  We will derive a 2-byte secret key from this key, starting at bit position 21 (i.e., the value of the parameter to the CKM_EXTRACT_KEY_FROM_KEY mechanism is 21).

1.     We write the key’s value in binary: 0011 0010 1001 1111 1000 0100 1010 1001.  We regard this binary string as holding the 32 bits of the key, labeled as b0, b1, …, b31.

2.     We then extract 16 consecutive bits (i.e., 2 bytes) from this binary string, starting at bit b21.  We obtain the binary string 1001 0101 0010 0110.

3.     The value of the new key is thus 0x9526.

Note that when constructing the value of the derived key, it is permissible to wrap around the end of the binary string representing the original key’s value.

If the original key used in this process is sensitive, then the derived key must also be sensitive for the derivation to succeed.

·         If no length or key type is provided in the template, then an error will be returned.

·         If no key type is provided in the template, but a length is, then the key produced by this mechanism will be a generic secret key of the specified length.

·         If no length is provided in the template, but a key type is, then that key type must have a well-defined length.  If it does, then the key produced by this mechanism will be of the type specified in the template.  If it doesn’t, an error will be returned.

·         If both a key type and a length are provided in the template, the length must be compatible with that key type.  The key produced by this mechanism will be of the specified type and length.

If a DES, DES2, DES3, or CDMF key is derived with this mechanism, the parity bits of the key will be set properly.

If the requested type of key requires more bytes than the original key has, an error is generated.

This mechanism has the following rules about key sensitivity and extractability:

·         If the base key has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_SENSITIVE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         Similarly, if the base key has its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE, so does the derived key.  If not, then the derived key’s CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set either from the supplied template or from a default value.

·         The derived key’s CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the base key has its CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

·         Similarly, the derived key’s CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute is set to CK_TRUE if and only if the base key has its CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_TRUE.

2.32.1 Definitions

Mechanisms:

CKM_CMS_SIG                   

2.32.2 CMS Signature Mechanism Objects

These objects provide information relating to the CKM_CMS_SIG mechanism. CKM_CMS_SIG mechanism object attributes represent information about supported CMS signature attributes in the token. They are only present on tokens supporting the CKM_CMS_SIG mechanism, but must be present on those tokens.

Table 107, CMS Signature Mechanism Object Attributes

Attribute

Data type

Meaning

CKA_REQUIRED_CMS_ATTRIBUTES

Byte array

Attributes the token always will include in the set of CMS signed attributes

CKA_DEFAULT_CMS_ATTRIBUTES

Byte array

Attributes the token will include in the set of CMS signed attributes in the absence of any attributes specified by the application

CKA_SUPPORTED_CMS_ATTRIBUTES

Byte array

Attributes the token may include in the set of CMS signed attributes upon request by the application

The contents of each byte array will be a DER-encoded list of CMS Attributes with optional accompanying values. Any attributes in the list shall be identified with its object identifier, and any values shall be DER-encoded. The list of attributes is defined in ASN.1 as:

   Attributes ::= SET SIZE (1..MAX) OF Attribute

   Attribute ::= SEQUENCE {

        attrType    OBJECT IDENTIFIER,

        attrValues SET OF ANY DEFINED BY OBJECT IDENTIFIER OPTIONAL

   }

The client may not set any of the attributes.

2.32.3 CMS mechanism parameters

·         CK_CMS_SIG_PARAMS, CK_CMS_SIG_PARAMS_PTR

CK_CMS_SIG_PARAMS is a structure that provides the parameters to the CKM_CMS_SIG mechanism. It is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_CMS_SIG_PARAMS {

CK_OBJECT_HANDLE     certificateHandle;

CK_MECHANISM_PTR     pSigningMechanism;

CK_MECHANISM_PTR     pDigestMechanism;

CK_UTF8CHAR_PTR      pContentType;

CK_BYTE_PTR          pRequestedAttributes;

CK_ULONG             ulRequestedAttributesLen;

CK_BYTE_PTR          pRequiredAttributes;

CK_ULONG             ulRequiredAttributesLen;

} CK_CMS_SIG_PARAMS;

 

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

                        certificateHandle       Object handle for a certificate associated with the signing key.  The token may use information from this certificate to identify the signer in the SignerInfo result value. CertificateHandle may be NULL_PTR if the certificate is not available as a PKCS #11 object or if the calling application leaves the choice of certificate completely to the token.

                   pSigningMechanism       Mechanism to use when signing a constructed CMS SignedAttributes value. E.g. CKM_SHA1_RSA_PKCS.

                    pDigestMechanism       Mechanism to use when digesting the data. Value shall be NULL_PTR when the digest mechanism to use follows from the pSigningMechanism parameter.

                            pContentType       NULL-terminated string indicating complete MIME Content-type of message to be signed; or the value NULL_PTR if the message is a MIME object (which the token can parse to determine its MIME Content-type if required). Use the value “application/octet-stream“ if the MIME type for the message is unknown or undefined.  Note that the pContentType string shall conform to the syntax specified in RFC 2045, i.e. any parameters needed for correct presentation of the content by the token (such as, for example, a non-default “charset”) must be present. The token must follow rules and procedures defined in RFC 2045 when presenting the content.

                 pRequestedAttributes       Pointer to DER-encoded list of CMS Attributes the caller requests to be included in the signed attributes. Token may freely ignore this list or modify any supplied values.

           ulRequestedAttributesLen       Length in bytes of the value pointed to by pRequestedAttributes

                    pRequiredAttributes       Pointer to DER-encoded list of CMS Attributes (with accompanying values) required to be included in the resulting signed attributes. Token must not modify any supplied values. If the token does not support one or more of the attributes, or does not accept provided values, the signature operation will fail. The token will use its own default attributes when signing if both the pRequestedAttributes and pRequiredAttributes field are set to NULL_PTR.

              ulRequiredAttributesLen       Length in bytes, of the value pointed to by pRequiredAttributes.     

2.32.4 CMS signatures

The CMS mechanism, denoted CKM_CMS_SIG, is a multi-purpose mechanism based on the structures defined in PKCS #7 and RFC 2630. It supports single- or multiple-part signatures with and without message recovery.  The mechanism is intended for use with, e.g., PTDs (see MeT-PTD) or other capable tokens. The token will construct a CMS SignedAttributes value and compute a signature on this value. The content of the SignedAttributes value is decided by the token, however the caller can suggest some attributes in the parameter pRequestedAttributes. The caller can also require some attributes to be present through the parameters pRequiredAttributes. The signature is computed in accordance with the parameter pSigningMechanism.

When this mechanism is used in successful calls to C_Sign or C_SignFinal, the pSignature return value will point to a DER-encoded value of type SignerInfo. SignerInfo is defined in ASN.1 as follows (for a complete definition of all fields and types, see RFC 2630):

SignerInfo ::= SEQUENCE {

        version CMSVersion,

        sid SignerIdentifier,

        digestAlgorithm DigestAlgorithmIdentifier,

        signedAttrs [0] IMPLICIT SignedAttributes OPTIONAL,

        signatureAlgorithm SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier,

        signature SignatureValue,

        unsignedAttrs [1] IMPLICIT UnsignedAttributes OPTIONAL }

The certificateHandle parameter, when set, helps the token populate the sid field of the SignerInfo value.  If certificateHandle is NULL_PTR the choice of a suitable certificate reference in the SignerInfo result value is left to the token (the token could, e.g., interact with the user).

This mechanism shall not be used in calls to C_Verify or C_VerifyFinal (use the pSigningMechanism mechanism instead).

For the pRequiredAttributes field, the token may have to interact with the user to find out whether to accept a proposed value or not. The token should never accept any proposed attribute values without some kind of confirmation from its owner (but this could be through, e.g., configuration or policy settings and not direct interaction). If a user rejects proposed values, or the signature request as such, the value CKR_FUNCTION_REJECTED shall be returned.

When possible, applications should use the CKM_CMS_SIG mechanism when generating CMS-compatible signatures rather than lower-level mechanisms such as CKM_SHA1_RSA_PKCS. This is especially true when the signatures are to be made on content that the token is able to present to a user. Exceptions may include those cases where the token does not support a particular signing attribute. Note however that the token may refuse usage of a particular signature key unless the content to be signed is known (i.e. the CKM_CMS_SIG mechanism is used).

When a token does not have presentation capabilities, the PKCS #11-aware application may avoid sending the whole message to the token by electing to use a suitable signature mechanism (e.g. CKM_RSA_PKCS) as the pSigningMechanism value in the CK_CMS_SIG_PARAMS structure, and digesting the message itself before passing it to the token.

PKCS #11-aware applications making use of tokens with presentation capabilities, should attempt to provide messages to be signed by the token in a format possible for the token to present to the user. Tokens that receive multipart MIME-messages for which only certain parts are possible to present may fail the signature operation with a return value of CKR_DATA_INVALID, but may also choose to add a signing attribute indicating which parts of the message were possible to present.

2.33 Blowfish

Blowfish, a secret-key block cipher. It is a Feistel network, iterating a simple encryption function 16 times. The block size is 64 bits, and the key can be any length up to 448 bits. Although there is a complex initialization phase required before any encryption can take place, the actual encryption of data is very efficient on large microprocessors.

CKM_BLOWFISH_CBC              

CKM_BLOWFISH_CBC_PAD

2.33.2 BLOWFISH secret key objects

Blowfish secret key objects (object class CKO_SECRET_KEY, key type CKK_BLOWFISH) hold Blowfish keys.  The following table defines the Blowfish secret key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

The following is a sample template for creating an Blowfish secret key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_SECRET_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_BLOWFISH;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “A blowfish secret key object”;

CK_BYTE value[16] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_ENCRYPT, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.33.3 Blowfish key generation

The Blowfish key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_BLOWFISH_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism Blowfish.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates Blowfish keys with a particular length, as specified in the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template for the key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the key type (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the key supports) may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of key sizes in bytes.

2.33.4 Blowfish-CBC

Blowfish-CBC, denoted CKM_BLOWFISH_CBC, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping.

It has a parameter, a 8-byte initialization vector.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key. For wrapping, the mechanism encrypts the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped, padded on the trailing end with up to block size minus one null bytes so that the resulting length is a multiple of the block size. The output data is the same length as the padded input data. It does not wrap the key type, key length, or any other information about the key; the application must convey these separately.

For unwrapping, the mechanism decrypts the wrapped key, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one, and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template. The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

Table 110, BLOWFISH-CBC: Key and Data Length

C_Encrypt

BLOWFISH

C_WrapKey

BLOWFISH

Input length rounded up to multiple of the block size

C_UnwrapKey

Multiple of block size

Determined by type of key being unwrapped or CKA_VALUE_LEN

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of BLOWFISH key sizes, in bytes.

2.33.5 Blowfish-CBC with PKCS padding

Blowfish-CBC-PAD, denoted CKM_BLOWFISH_CBC_PAD, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption, key wrapping and key unwrapping, cipher-block chaining mode and the block cipher padding method detailed in PKCS #7.

It has a parameter, a 8-byte initialization vector.

The PKCS padding in this mechanism allows the length of the plaintext value to be recovered from the ciphertext value. Therefore, when unwrapping keys with this mechanism, no value should be specified for the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute.

The entries in the table below for data length constraints when wrapping and unwrapping keys do not apply to wrapping and unwrapping private keys.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_TWOFISH;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “A twofish secret key object”;

CK_BYTE value[16] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

  {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

  {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

  {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

  {CKA_ENCRYPT, &true, sizeof(true)},

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.34.3 Twofish key generation

The Twofish key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_TWOFISH_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism Twofish.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates Blowfish keys with a particular length, as specified in the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template for the key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the key type (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the key supports) may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of key sizes, in bytes.

2.34.4 Twofish -CBC

Twofish-CBC, denoted CKM_TWOFISH_CBC, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping.

It has a parameter, a 16-byte initialization vector.

2.34.5 Twofish-CBC with PKCS padding

Twofish-CBC-PAD, denoted CKM_TWOFISH_CBC_PAD, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption, key wrapping and key unwrapping, cipher-block chaining mode and the block cipher padding method detailed in PKCS #7.

It has a parameter, a 16-byte initialization vector.

The PKCS padding in this mechanism allows the length of the plaintext value to be recovered from the ciphertext value. Therefore, when unwrapping keys with this mechanism, no value should be specified for the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute.

2.35 CAMELLIA

Camellia is a block cipher with 128-bit block size and 128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys, similar to AES. Camellia is described e.g. in IETF RFC 3713.

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.35.3 Camellia key generation

The Camellia key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_CAMELLIA_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism for Camellia.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates Camellia keys with a particular length in bytes, as specified in the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template for the key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the Camellia key type (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the key supports) may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of Camellia key sizes, in bytes.

2.35.4 Camellia-ECB

Camellia-ECB, denoted CKM_CAMELLIA_ECB, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on Camellia and electronic codebook mode.

It does not have a parameter.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the mechanism encrypts the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped, padded on the trailing end with up to block size minus one null bytes so that the resulting length is a multiple of the block size. The output data is the same length as the padded input data. It does not wrap the key type, key length, or any other information about the key; the application must convey these separately.

For unwrapping, the mechanism decrypts the wrapped key, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one, and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of Camellia key sizes, in bytes.

2.35.5 Camellia-CBC

Camellia-CBC, denoted CKM_CAMELLIA_CBC, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on Camellia and cipher-block chaining mode.

It has a parameter, a 16-byte initialization vector.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key.  Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every secret key that it supports.  For wrapping, the mechanism encrypts the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped, padded on the trailing end with up to block size minus one null bytes so that the resulting length is a multiple of the block size. The output data is the same length as the padded input data. It does not wrap the key type, key length, or any other information about the key; the application must convey these separately.

For unwrapping, the mechanism decrypts the wrapped key, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one, and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template.  The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key; other attributes required by the key type must be specified in the template.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of Camellia key sizes, in bytes.

2.35.6 Camellia-CBC with PKCS padding

Camellia-CBC with PKCS padding, denoted CKM_CAMELLIA_CBC_PAD, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on Camellia; cipher-block chaining mode; and the block cipher padding method detailed in PKCS #7.

It has a parameter, a 16-byte initialization vector.

The PKCS padding in this mechanism allows the length of the plaintext value to be recovered from the ciphertext value.  Therefore, when unwrapping keys with this mechanism, no value should be specified for the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute.

In addition to being able to wrap and unwrap secret keys, this mechanism can wrap and unwrap RSA, Diffie-Hellman, X9.42 Diffie-Hellman, EC (also related to ECDSA) and DSA private keys (see Section TBA for details).  The entries in the table below for data length constraints when wrapping and unwrapping keys do not apply to wrapping and unwrapping private keys.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of Camellia key sizes, in bytes.

2.35.7 General-length Camellia-MAC

General-length Camellia -MAC, denoted CKM_CAMELLIA_MAC_GENERAL, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part signatures and verification, based on Camellia  and data authentication as defined in.[CAMELLIA]

It has a parameter, a CK_MAC_GENERAL_PARAMS structure, which specifies the output length desired from the mechanism.

The output bytes from this mechanism are taken from the start of the final Camellia cipher block produced in the MACing process.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

  {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.39.3 SEED key generation

The SEED key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_SEED_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism for SEED.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates SEED keys.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the SEED key type (specifically, the flags indicating which functions the key supports) may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values.

2.39.4 SEED-ECB

SEED-ECB, denoted CKM_SEED_ECB, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on SEED and electronic codebook mode.

It does not have a parameter.

2.39.5 SEED-CBC

SEED-CBC, denoted CKM_SEED_CBC, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on SEED and cipher-block chaining mode.

It has a parameter, a 16-byte initialization vector.

2.39.6 SEED-CBC with PKCS padding

SEED-CBC with PKCS padding, denoted CKM_SEED_CBC_PAD, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on SEED; cipher-block chaining mode; and the block cipher padding method detailed in PKCS #7.

It has a parameter, a 16-byte initialization vector.

2.39.7 General-length SEED-MAC

General-length SEED-MAC, denoted CKM_SEED_MAC_GENERAL, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part signatures and verification, based on SEED and data authentication as defined in 0.

It has a parameter, a CK_MAC_GENERAL_PARAMS structure, which specifies the output length desired from the mechanism.

The output bytes from this mechanism are taken from the start of the final cipher block produced in the MACing process.

2.39.8 SEED-MAC

SEED-MAC, denoted by CKM_SEED_MAC, is a special case of the general-length SEED-MAC mechanism. SEED-MAC always produces and verifies MACs that are half the block size in length.

It does not have a parameter.

2.40 Key derivation by data encryption - SEED

These mechanisms allow derivation of keys using the result of an encryption operation as the key value. They are for use with the C_DeriveKey function.

2.41 OTP

2.41.1 Usage overview

OTP tokens represented as PKCS #11 mechanisms may be used in a variety of ways. The usage cases can be categorized according to the type of sought functionality.

2.41.2 Case 1: Generation of OTP values

.

Figure 1: Retrieving OTP values through C_Sign

Figure 1 shows an integration of PKCS #11 into an application that needs to authenticate users holding OTP tokens. In this particular example, a connected hardware token is used, but a software token is equally possible. The application invokes C_Sign to retrieve the OTP value from the token. In the example, the application then passes the retrieved OTP value to a client API that sends it via the network to an authentication server. The client API may implement a standard authentication protocol such as RADIUS [RFC 2865] or EAP [RFC 3748], or a proprietary protocol such as that used by RSA Security's ACE/Agent® software.

2.41.3 Case 2: Verification of provided OTP values

Figure 2: Server-side verification of OTP values

Figure 2 illustrates the server-side equivalent of the scenario depicted in Figure 1. In this case, a server application invokes C_Verify with the received OTP value as the signature value to be verified.

2.41.4 Case 3: Generation of OTP keys

Figure 3: Generation of an OTP key

Figure 3 shows an integration of PKCS #11 into an application that generates OTP keys. The application invokes C_GenerateKey to generate an OTP key of a particular type on the token. The key may subsequently be used as a basis to generate OTP values.

2.41.5 OTP objects

2.41.5.1 Key objects

OTP key objects (object class CKO_OTP_KEY) hold secret keys used by OTP tokens.  The following table defines the attributes common to all OTP keys, in addition to the attributes defined for secret keys, all of which are inherited by this class:

CK_OTP_FORMAT_DECIMAL = Decimal (default) (UTF8-encoded)

CK_OTP_FORMAT_HEXADECIMAL = Hexadecimal (UTF8-encoded)

CK_OTP_FORMAT_ALPHANUMERIC = Alphanumeric (UTF8-encoded)

CK_OTP_FORMAT_BINARY = Only binary values.

CK_OTP_PARAM_IGNORED = A PIN value, if supplied, will be ignored.

CKA_OTP_COUNTER

Byte array

Value of the associated internal counter. Default value is empty (i.e. ulValueLen = 0).

CKA_OTP_TIME

Refer to [PKCS #11-Base]  table 10 for footnotes.

Note: A Cryptoki library may support PIN-code caching in order to reduce user interactions. An OTP-PKCS #11 application should therefore always consult the state of the CKA_OTP_PIN_REQUIREMENT attribute before each call to C_SignInit, as the value of this attribute may change dynamically.

For OTP tokens with multiple keys, the keys may be enumerated using C_FindObjects. The CKA_OTP_SERVICE_IDENTIFIER and/or the CKA_OTP_SERVICE_LOGO attribute may be used to distinguish between keys. The actual choice of key for a particular operation is however application-specific and beyond the scope of this document.

For all OTP keys, the CKA_ALLOWED_MECHANISMS attribute should be set as required.

2.41.6 OTP-related notifications

This document extends the set of defined notifications as follows:

               CKN_OTP_CHANGED       Cryptoki is informing the application that the OTP for a key on a connected token just changed. This notification is particularly useful when applications wish to display the current OTP value for time-based mechanisms.

2.41.7 OTP mechanisms

The following table shows, for the OTP mechanisms defined in this document, their support by different cryptographic operations.  For any particular token, of course, a particular operation may well support only a subset of the mechanisms listed.  There is also no guarantee that a token that supports one mechanism for some operation supports any other mechanism for any other operation (or even supports that same mechanism for any other operation).

2.41.7.1 OTP mechanism parameters

¨      CK_OTP_PARAM_TYPE

CK_OTP_PARAM_TYPE is a value that identifies an OTP parameter type. It is defined as follows:

typedef CK_ULONG CK_OTP_PARAM_TYPE;

The following CK_OTP_PARAM_TYPE types are defined:

Table 134, OTP parameter types

Parameter

Data type

Meaning

CK_OTP_PIN

RFC 2279 string

A UTF8 string containing a PIN for use when computing or verifying PIN-based OTP values.

CK_OTP_CHALLENGE

Byte array

Challenge to use when computing or verifying challenge-based OTP values.

CK_OTP_TIME

RFC 2279 string

UTC time value in the form YYYYMMDDhhmmss to use when computing or verifying time-based OTP values.

CK_OTP_COUNTER

Byte array

Counter value to use when computing or verifying counter-based OTP values.

CK_OTP_FLAGS

CK_FLAGS

Bit flags indicating the characteristics of the sought OTP as defined below.

CK_OTP_OUTPUT_LENGTH

CK_ULONG

Desired output length (overrides any default value). A Cryptoki library will return CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID if a provided length value is not supported.

CK_OTP_OUTPUT_FORMAT

CK_ULONG

Returned OTP format (allowed values are the same as for CKA_OTP_FORMAT). This parameter is only intended for C_Sign output, see paragraphs below. When not present, the returned OTP format will be the same as the value of the CKA_OTP_FORMAT attribute for the key in question.

CK_OTP_VALUE

Byte array

An actual OTP value. This parameter type is intended for C_Sign output, see paragraphs below.

 


The following table defines the possible values for the CK_OTP_FLAGS type:

Table 135: OTP Mechanism Flags

Bit flag

Mask

Meaning

CKF_NEXT_OTP

0x00000001

True (i.e. set) if the OTP computation shall be for the next OTP, rather than the current one (current being interpreted in the context of the algorithm, e.g. for the current counter value or current time window). A Cryptoki library shall return CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID if the CKF_NEXT_OTP flag is set and the OTP mechanism in question does not support the concept of “next” OTP or the library is not capable of generating the next OTP[5].

CKF_EXCLUDE_TIME

0x00000002

True (i.e. set) if the OTP computation must not include a time value. Will have an effect only on mechanisms that do include a time value in the OTP computation and then only if the mechanism (and token) allows exclusion of this value. A Cryptoki library shall return CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID if exclusion of the value is not allowed.

CKF_EXCLUDE_COUNTER

0x00000004

True (i.e. set) if the OTP computation must not include a counter value. Will have an effect only on mechanisms that do include a counter value in the OTP computation and then only if the mechanism (and token) allows exclusion of this value. A Cryptoki library shall return CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID if exclusion of the value is not allowed.

CKF_EXCLUDE_CHALLENGE

0x00000008

True (i.e. set) if the OTP computation must not include a challenge. Will have an effect only on mechanisms that do include a challenge in the OTP computation and then only if the mechanism (and token) allows exclusion of this value. A Cryptoki library shall return CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID if exclusion of the value is not allowed.

CKF_EXCLUDE_PIN

0x00000010

True (i.e. set) if the OTP computation must not include a PIN value. Will have an effect only on mechanisms that do include a PIN in the OTP computation and then only if the mechanism (and token) allows exclusion of this value. A Cryptoki library shall return CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID if exclusion of the value is not allowed.

CKF_USER_FRIENDLY_OTP

0x00000020

True (i.e. set) if the OTP returned shall be in a form suitable for human consumption. If this flag is set, and the call is successful, then the returned CK_OTP_VALUE shall be a UTF8-encoded printable string. A Cryptoki library shall return CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID if this flag is set when CKA_OTP_USER_FRIENDLY_MODE for the key in question is CK_FALSE.

Note: Even if CKA_OTP_FORMAT is not set to CK_OTP_FORMAT_BINARY, then there may still be value in setting the CKF_USER_FRIENDLY_OTP flag (assuming CKA_OTP_USER_FRIENDLY_MODE is CK_TRUE, of course) if the intent is for a human to read the generated OTP value, since it may become shorter or otherwise better suited for a user. Applications that do not intend to provide a returned OTP value to a user should not set the CKF_USER_FRIENDLY_OTP flag.

¨      CK_OTP_PARAM; CK_OTP_PARAM_PTR

CK_OTP_PARAM is a structure that includes the type, value, and length of an OTP parameter. It is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_OTP_PARAM {

   CK_OTP_PARAM_TYPE type;

   CK_VOID_PTR pValue;

   CK_ULONG ulValueLen;

} CK_OTP_PARAM;

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

                                          type       the parameter type

                                      pValue       pointer to the value of the parameter

                                ulValueLen       length in bytes of the value

If a parameter has no value, then ulValueLen = 0, and the value of pValue is irrelevant.  Note that pValue is a “void” pointer, facilitating the passing of arbitrary values.  Both the application and the Cryptoki library must ensure that the pointer can be safely cast to the expected type (i.e., without word-alignment errors).

CK_OTP_PARAM_PTR is a pointer to a CK_OTP_PARAM.

CK_OTP_PARAMS; CK_OTP_PARAMS_PTR

CK_OTP_PARAMS is a structure that is used to provide parameters for OTP mechanisms in a generic fashion. It is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_OTP_PARAMS {

   CK_OTP_PARAM_PTR pParams;

   CK_ULONG ulCount;

} CK_OTP_PARAMS;

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

                                   pParams       pointer to an array of OTP parameters

                                     ulCount       the number of parameters in the array

CK_OTP_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_OTP_PARAMS.

When calling C_SignInit or C_VerifyInit with a mechanism that takes a CK_OTP_PARAMS structure as a parameter, the CK_OTP_PARAMS structure shall be populated in accordance with the CKA_OTP_X_REQUIREMENT key attributes for the identified key, where X is PIN, CHALLENGE, TIME, or COUNTER.

For example, if CKA_OTP_TIME_REQUIREMENT = CK_OTP_PARAM_MANDATORY, then the CK_OTP_TIME parameter shall be present. If CKA_OTP_TIME_REQUIREMENT = CK_OTP_PARAM_OPTIONAL, then a CK_OTP_TIME parameter may be present. If it is not present, then the library may collect it (during the C_Sign call). If CKA_OTP_TIME_REQUIREMENT = CK_OTP_PARAM_IGNORED, then a provided CK_OTP_TIME parameter will always be ignored. Additionally, a provided CK_OTP_TIME parameter will always be ignored if CKF_EXCLUDE_TIME is set in a CK_OTP_FLAGS parameter. Similarly, if this flag is set, a library will not attempt to collect the value itself, and it will also instruct the token not to make use of any internal value, subject to token policies. It is an error (CKR_MECHANISM_PARAM_INVALID) to set the CKF_EXCLUDE_TIME flag when the CKA_OTP_TIME_REQUIREMENT attribute is CK_OTP_PARAM_MANDATORY.

The above discussion holds for all CKA_OTP_X_REQUIREMENT attributes (i.e., CKA_OTP_PIN_REQUIREMENT, CKA_OTP_CHALLENGE_REQURIEMENTREQUIREMENT, CKA_OTP_COUNTER_REQUIREMENT, CKA_OTP_TIME_REQUIREMENT). A library may set a particular CKA_OTP_X_REQUIREMENT attribute to CK_OTP_PARAM_OPTIONAL even if it is required by the mechanism as long as the token (or the library itself) has the capability of providing the value to the computation. One example of this is a token with an on-board clock.

In addition, applications may use the CK_OTP_FLAGS, the CK_OTP_OUTPUT_FORMAT and the CKA_OTP_LENGTH parameters to set additional parameters.

CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO, CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO_PTR

CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO is a structure that is returned by all OTP mechanisms in successful calls to C_Sign (C_SignFinal). The structure informs applications of actual parameter values used in particular OTP computations in addition to the OTP value itself. It is used by all mechanisms for which the key belongs to the class CKO_OTP_KEY and is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO {

   CK_OTP_PARAM_PTR pParams;

   CK_ULONG ulCount;

} CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO;

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

                                   pParams       pointer to an array of OTP parameter values

                                     ulCount       the number of parameters in the array

After successful calls to C_Sign or C_SignFinal with an OTP mechanism, the pSignature parameter will be set to point to a CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO structure. One of the parameters in this structure will be the OTP value itself, identified with the CK_OTP_VALUE tag. Other parameters may be present for informational purposes, e.g. the actual time used in the OTP calculation. In order to simplify OTP validations, authentication protocols may permit authenticating parties to send some or all of these parameters in addition to OTP values themselves. Applications should therefore check for their presence in returned CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO values whenever such circumstances apply.

Since C_Sign and C_SignFinal follows the convention described in Section 11.2 on producing output, a call to C_Sign (or C_SignFinal) with pSignature set to NULL_PTR will return (in the pulSignatureLen parameter) the required number of bytes to hold the CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO structure as well as all the data in all its CK_OTP_PARAM components. If an application allocates a memory block based on this information, it shall therefore not subsequently de-allocate components of such a received value but rather de-allocate the complete CK_OTP_PARAMS structure itself. A Cryptoki library that is called with a non-NULL pSignature pointer will assume that it points to a contiguous memory block of the size indicated by the pulSignatureLen parameter.

When verifying an OTP value using an OTP mechanism, pSignature shall be set to the OTP value itself, e.g. the value of the CK_OTP_VALUE component of a CK_OTP_PARAMS structure returned by a call to C_Sign. The CK_OTP_PARAMS value supplied in the C_VerifyInit call sets the values to use in the verification operation.

CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO_PTR points to a CK_OTP_SIGNATURE_INFO.

2.41.8 RSA SecurID

2.41.8.1 RSA SecurID secret key objects

RSA SecurID secret key objects (object class CKO_OTP_KEY, key type CKK_SECURID) hold RSA SecurID secret keys.  The following table defines the RSA SecurID secret key object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

Table 136, RSA SecurID secret key object attributes

Attribute

Data type

Meaning

CKA_OTP_TIME_INTERVAL1

CK_ULONG

Interval between OTP values produced with this key, in seconds. Default is 60.

Refer to [PKCS #11-Base]  table 10 for footnotes.. .

The following is a sample template for creating an RSA SecurID secret key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_OTP_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_SECURID;

CK_DATE endDate = {...};

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “RSA SecurID secret key object”;

CK_BYTE keyId[]= {...};

CK_ULONG outputFormat = CK_OTP_FORMAT_DECIMAL;

CK_ULONG outputLength = 6;

CK_ULONG needPIN = CK_OTP_PARAM_MANDATORY;

CK_ULONG timeInterval = 60;

CK_BYTE value[] = {...};

   CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

   {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

   {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

   {CKA_END_DATE, &endDate, sizeof(endDate)},

   {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_SENSITIVE, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

   {CKA_SIGN, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_VERIFY, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_ID, keyId, sizeof(keyId)},

   {CKA_OTP_FORMAT, &outputFormat, sizeof(outputFormat)},

   {CKA_OTP_LENGTH, &outputLength, sizeof(outputLength)},

   {CKA_OTP_PIN_REQUIREMENT, &needPIN, sizeof(needPIN)},

   {CKA_OTP_TIME_INTERVAL, &timeInterval, sizeof(timeInterval)},

   {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.41.9 RSA SecurID key generation

The RSA SecurID key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_SECURID_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism for the RSA SecurID algorithm.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates RSA SecurID keys with a particular set of attributes as specified in the template for the key.

The mechanism contributes at least the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_VALUE_LEN, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the RSA SecurID key type may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of SecurID key sizes, in bytes.

2.41.10 RSA SecurID OTP generation and validation

CKM_SECURID is the mechanism for the retrieval and verification of RSA SecurID OTP values.

The mechanism takes a pointer to a CK_OTP_PARAMS structure as a parameter.

When signing or verifying using the CKM_SECURID mechanism, pData shall be set to NULL_PTR and ulDataLen shall be set to 0.

2.41.11 Return values

Support for the CKM_SECURID mechanism extends the set of return values for C_Verify with the following values:

·         CKR_NEW_PIN_MODE: The supplied OTP was not accepted and the library requests a new OTP computed using a new PIN. The new PIN is set through means out of scope for this document.

·         CKR_NEXT_OTP: The supplied OTP was correct but indicated a larger than normal drift in the token's internal state (e.g. clock, counter). To ensure this was not due to a temporary problem, the application should provide the next one-time password to the library for verification.

2.41.12 OATH HOTP

2.41.12.1 OATH HOTP secret key objects

HOTP secret key objects (object class CKO_OTP_KEY, key type CKK_HOTP) hold generic secret keys and associated counter values.

The CKA_OTP_COUNTER value may be set at key generation; however, some tokens may set it to a fixed initial value. Depending on the token’s security policy, this value may not be modified and/or may not be revealed if the object has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE or its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE.

For HOTP keys, the CKA_OTP_COUNTER value shall be an 8 bytes unsigned integer in big endian (i.e. network byte order) form. The same holds true for a CK_OTP_COUNTER value in a CK_OTP_PARAM structure.

The following is a sample template for creating a HOTP secret key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_OTP_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_HOTP;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “HOTP secret key object”;

CK_BYTE keyId[]= {...};

CK_ULONG outputFormat = CK_OTP_FORMAT_DECIMAL;

CK_ULONG outputLength = 6;

CK_DATE endDate = {...};

CK_BYTE counterValue[8] = {0};

CK_BYTE value[] = {...};

   CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

   {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

   {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

   {CKA_END_DATE, &endDate, sizeof(endDate)},

   {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_SENSITIVE, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

   {CKA_SIGN, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_VERIFY, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_ID, keyId, sizeof(keyId)},

   {CKA_OTP_FORMAT, &outputFormat, sizeof(outputFormat)},

   {CKA_OTP_LENGTH, &outputLength, sizeof(outputLength)},

   {CKA_OTP_COUNTER, counterValue, sizeof(counterValue)},

   {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.41.12.2 HOTP key generation

The HOTP key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_HOTP_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism for the HOTP algorithm.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates HOTP keys with a particular set of attributes as specified in the template for the key.

The mechanism contributes at least the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_OTP_COUNTER, CKA_VALUE and CKA_VALUE_LEN attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the HOTP key type may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of HOTP key sizes, in bytes.

2.41.12.3 HOTP OTP generation and validation

CKM_HOTP is the mechanism for the retrieval and verification of HOTP OTP values based on the current internal counter, or a provided counter.

The mechanism takes a pointer to a CK_OTP_PARAMS structure as a parameter.

As for the CKM_SECURID mechanism, when signing or verifying using the CKM_HOTP mechanism, pData shall be set to NULL_PTR and ulDataLen shall be set to 0.

For verify operations, the counter value CK_OTP_COUNTER must be provided as a CK_OTP_PARAM parameter to C_VerifyInit. When verifying an OTP value using the CKM_HOTP mechanism, pSignature shall be set to the OTP value itself, e.g. the value of the CK_OTP_VALUE component of a CK_OTP_PARAMS structure in the case of an earlier call to C_Sign.

2.41.13 ActivIdentity ACTI

2.41.13.1 ACTI secret key objects

ACTI secret key objects (object class CKO_OTP_KEY, key type CKK_ACTI) hold ActivIdentity ACTI secret keys.

For ACTI keys, the CKA_OTP_COUNTER value shall be an 8 bytes unsigned integer in big endian (i.e. network byte order) form. The same holds true for the CK_OTP_COUNTER value in the CK_OTP_PARAM structure.

The CKA_OTP_COUNTER value may be set at key generation; however, some tokens may set it to a fixed initial value. Depending on the token’s security policy, this value may not be modified and/or may not be revealed if the object has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE or its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE.

The CKA_OTP_TIME value may be set at key generation; however, some tokens may set it to a fixed initial value. Depending on the token’s security policy, this value may not be modified and/or may not be revealed if the object has its CKA_SENSITIVE attribute set to CK_TRUE or its CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute set to CK_FALSE.

The following is a sample template for creating an ACTI secret key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_OTP_KEY;

CK_KEY_TYPE keyType = CKK_ACTI;

CK_UTF8CHAR label[] = “ACTI secret key object”;

CK_BYTE keyId[]= {...};

CK_ULONG outputFormat = CK_OTP_FORMAT_DECIMAL;

CK_ULONG outputLength = 6;

CK_DATE endDate = {...};

CK_BYTE counterValue[8] = {0};

CK_BYTE value[] = {...};

CK_BBOOL true = CK_TRUE;

CK_ATTRIBUTE template[] = {

   {CKA_CLASS, &class, sizeof(class)},

   {CKA_KEY_TYPE, &keyType, sizeof(keyType)},

   {CKA_END_DATE, &endDate, sizeof(endDate)},

   {CKA_TOKEN, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_SENSITIVE, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_LABEL, label, sizeof(label)-1},

   {CKA_SIGN, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_VERIFY, &true, sizeof(true)},

   {CKA_ID, keyId, sizeof(keyId)},

   {CKA_OTP_FORMAT, &outputFormat,

   sizeof(outputFormat)},

   {CKA_OTP_LENGTH, &outputLength,

   sizeof(outputLength)},

   {CKA_OTP_COUNTER, counterValue,

   sizeof(counterValue)},

   {CKA_VALUE, value, sizeof(value)}

};

2.41.13.2 ACTI key generation

The ACTI key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_ACTI_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism for the ACTI algorithm.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates ACTI keys with a particular set of attributes as specified in the template for the key.

The mechanism contributes at least the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_VALUE and CKA_VALUE_LEN attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the ACTI key type may be specified in the template for the key, or else are assigned default initial values.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of ACTI key sizes, in bytes.

2.41.14 ACTI OTP generation and validation

CKM_ACTI is the mechanism for the retrieval and verification of ACTI OTP values.

The mechanism takes a pointer to a CK_OTP_PARAMS structure as a parameter.

When signing or verifying using the CKM_ACTI mechanism, pData shall be set to NULL_PTR and ulDataLen shall be set to 0.

When verifying an OTP value using the CKM_ACTI mechanism, pSignature shall be set to the OTP value itself, e.g. the value of the CK_OTP_VALUE component of a CK_OTP_PARAMS structure in the case of an earlier call to C_Sign.

2.42 CT-KIP

2.42.1 Principles of Operation

Figure 4: PKCS #11 and CT-KIP integration

Figure 3 shows an integration of PKCS #11 into an application that generates cryptographic keys through the use of CT-KIP. The application invokes C_DeriveKey to derive a key of a particular type on the token. The key may subsequently be used as a basis to e.g., generate one-time password values. The application communicates with a CT-KIP server that participates in the key derivation and stores a copy of the key in its database. The key is transferred to the server in wrapped form, after a call to C_WrapKey. The server authenticates itself to the client and the client verifies the authentication by calls to C_Verify.

2.42.2 Mechanisms

The following table shows, for the mechanisms defined in this document, their support by different cryptographic operations.  For any particular token, of course, a particular operation may well support only a subset of the mechanisms listed.  There is also no guarantee that a token that supports one mechanism for some operation supports any other mechanism for any other operation (or even supports that same mechanism for any other operation).

2.42.3 Definitions

Mechanisms:

CKM_KIP_DERIVE                

CKM_KIP_WRAP

CKM_KIP_MAC

2.42.4 CT-KIP Mechanism parameters

¨      CK_KIP_PARAMS; CK_KIP_PARAMS_PTR

CK_KIP_PARAMS is a structure that provides the parameters to all the CT-KIP related mechanisms: The CKM_KIP_DERIVE key derivation mechanism, the CKM_KIP_WRAP key wrap and key unwrap mechanism, and the CKM_KIP_MAC signature mechanism. The structure is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_KIP_PARAMS {

   CK_MECHANISM_PTR  pMechanism;

   CK_OBJECT_HANDLE  hKey;

   CK_BYTE_PTR       pSeed;

   CK_ULONG          ulSeedLen;

} CK_KIP_PARAMS;

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

                              pMechanism       pointer to the underlying cryptographic mechanism (e.g. AES, SHA-256), see further 0, Appendix D

                                         hKey       handle to a key that will contribute to the entropy of the derived key (CKM_KIP_DERIVE) or will be used in the MAC operation (CKM_KIP_MAC)

                                       pSeed       pointer to an input seed

                                 ulSeedLen       length in bytes of the input seed

CK_KIP_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_KIP_PARAMS structure.    

2.42.5 CT-KIP key derivation

The CT-KIP key derivation mechanism, denoted CKM_KIP_DERIVE, is a key derivation mechanism that is capable of generating secret keys of potentially any type, subject to token limitations.

It takes a parameter of type CK_KIP_PARAMS which allows for the passing of the desired underlying cryptographic mechanism as well as some other data. In particular, when the hKey parameter is a handle to an existing key, that key will be used in the key derivation in addition to the hBaseKey of C_DeriveKey. The pSeed parameter may be used to seed the key derivation operation.

The mechanism derives a secret key with a particular set of attributes as specified in the attributes of the template for the key.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the key type may be specified in the template for the key, or else will be assigned default initial values. Since the mechanism is generic, the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute should be set in the template, if the key is to be used with a particular mechanism.

2.42.6 CT-KIP key wrap and key unwrap

The CT-KIP key wrap and unwrap mechanism, denoted CKM_KIP_WRAP, is a key wrap mechanism that is capable of wrapping and unwrapping generic secret keys.

It takes a parameter of type CK_KIP_PARAMS, which allows for the passing of the desired underlying cryptographic mechanism as well as some other data. It does not make use of the hKey parameter of CK_KIP_PARAMS.

2.42.7 CT-KIP signature generation

The CT-KIP signature (MAC) mechanism, denoted CKM_KIP_MAC, is a mechanism used to produce a message authentication code of arbitrary length. The keys it uses are secret keys.

It takes a parameter of type CK_KIP_PARAMS, which allows for the passing of the desired underlying cryptographic mechanism as well as some other data. The mechanism does not make use of the pSeed and the ulSeedLen parameters of CT_KIP_PARAMS.

This mechanism produces a MAC of the length specified by pulSignatureLen parameter in calls to C_Sign.

If a call to C_Sign with this mechanism fails, then no output will be generated.

2.44.4 GOST 28147-89 key generation

The GOST 28147‑89 key generation mechanism, denoted CKM_GOST28147_KEY_GEN, is a key generation mechanism for GOST 28147‑89.

It does not have a parameter.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new key. Other attributes supported by the GOST 28147‑89 key type may be specified for objects of object class CKO_SECRET_KEY.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO are not used.

2.44.5 GOST 28147-89-ECB

GOST 28147‑89-ECB, denoted CKM_GOST28147_ECB, is a mechanism for single and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on GOST 28147‑89 and electronic codebook mode.

It does not have a parameter.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key. Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every secret key that it supports.

For wrapping (C_WrapKey), the mechanism encrypts the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped, padded on the trailing end with up to block size so that the resulting length is a multiple of the block size.

For unwrapping (C_UnwrapKey), the mechanism decrypts the wrapped key, and truncates the result according to the CKA_KEY_TYPE attribute of the template and, if it has one, and the key type supports it, the CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute of the template. The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:

2.44.6 GOST 28147-89 encryption mode except ECB

GOST 28147‑89 encryption mode except ECB, denoted CKM_GOST28147, is a mechanism for single and multiple-part encryption and decryption; key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on [GOST 28147‑89] and CFB, counter mode, and additional CBC mode defined in [RFC 4357] section 2. Encryption’s parameters are specified in object identifier of attribute CKA_GOST28147_PARAMS.

It has a parameter, which is an 8-byte initialization vector. This parameter may be omitted then a zero initialization vector is used.

This mechanism can wrap and unwrap any secret key. Of course, a particular token may not be able to wrap/unwrap every secret key that it supports.

For wrapping (C_WrapKey), the mechanism encrypts the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped.

For unwrapping (C_UnwrapKey), the mechanism decrypts the wrapped key, and contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key.

MACing parameters are specified in object identifier of attribute CKA_GOST28147_PARAMS.

The output bytes from this mechanism are taken from the start of the final GOST 28147‑89 cipher block produced in the MACing process.

It has a parameter, which is an 8-byte MAC initialization vector. This parameter may be omitted then a zero initialization vector is used.

GOST 28147-89 keys wrapping/unwrapping with GOST 28147-89

GOST 28147‑89 keys as a KEK (key encryption keys) for encryption GOST 28147‑89 keys, denoted by CKM_GOST28147_KEY_WRAP, is a mechanism for key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on GOST 28147‑89. Its purpose is to encrypt and decrypt keys have been generated by key generation mechanism for GOST 28147‑89.

For wrapping (C_WrapKey), the mechanism first computes MAC from the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped and then encrypts in ECB mode the value of the CKA_VALUE attribute of the key that is wrapped. The result is 32 bytes of the key that is wrapped and 4 bytes of MAC.

For unwrapping (C_UnwrapKey), the mechanism first decrypts in ECB mode the 32 bytes of the key that was wrapped and then computes MAC from the unwrapped key. Then compared together 4 bytes MAC has computed and 4 bytes MAC of the input. If these two MACs do not match the wrapped key is disallowed. The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the unwrapped key.

It has a parameter, which is an 8-byte MAC initialization vector. This parameter may be omitted then a zero initialization vector is used.

GOST R 34.11-94 digest, denoted CKM_GOSTR3411, is a mechanism for message digesting based on GOST R 34.11-94 hash algorithm [GOST R 34.11-94].

As a parameter this mechanism utilizes a DER-encoding of the object identifier. A mechanism parameter may be missed then parameters of the object identifier id-GostR3411-94-CryptoProParamSet [RFC 4357] (section 11.2) must be used.

Constraints on the length of input and output data are summarized in the following table.  For single-part digesting, the data and the digest may begin at the same location in memory.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure are not used.

2.44.11 GOST R 34.11-94 HMAC

GOST R 34.11-94 HMAC mechanism, denoted CKM_GOSTR3411_HMAC, is a mechanism for signatures and verification.  It uses the HMAC construction, based on the GOST R 34.11-94 hash function [GOST R 34.11-94] and core HMAC algorithm [RFC 2104]. The keys it uses are of generic key type CKK_GENERIC_SECRET or CKK_GOST28147.

To be conformed to GOST R 34.11-94 hash algorithm [GOST R 34.11-94] the block length of core HMAC algorithm is 32 bytes long (see [RFC 2104] section 2, and [RFC 4357] section 3).

As a parameter this mechanism utilizes a DER-encoding of the object identifier. A mechanism parameter may be missed then parameters of the object identifier id-GostR3411-94-CryptoProParamSet [RFC 4357] (section 11.2) must be used.

Signatures (MACs) produced by this mechanism are of 32 bytes long.

Constraints on the length of input and output data are summarized in the following table:

Note that when generating an GOST R 34.10-2001 private key, the GOST R 34.10-2001 domain parameters are not specified in the key’s template.  This is because GOST R 34.10-2001 private keys are only generated as part of an GOST R 34.10-2001 key pair, and the GOST R 34.10-2001 domain parameters for the pair are specified in the template for the GOST R 34.10-2001 public key.

The following is a sample template for creating an GOST R 34.10-2001 private key object:

CK_OBJECT_CLASS class = CKO_PRIVATE_KEY;

2.45.5 GOST R 34.10-2001 mechanism parameters

♦  CK_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS

CK_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS is a structure that provides the parameters to the CKM_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP mechanism.

It is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS {

        CK_BYTE_PTR      pWrapOID;

        CK_ULONG         ulWrapOIDLen;

        CK_BYTE_PTR      pUKM;

        CK_ULONG         ulUKMLen;

        CK_OBJECT_HANDLE hKey;

} CK_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS;

 

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

pWrapOID

 

pointer to a data with DER-encoding of the object identifier indicating the data object type of GOST 28147‑89. If pointer takes NULL_PTR value in C_WrapKey operation then parameters are specified in object identifier of attribute CKA_GOSTR3411_PARAMS must be used. For C_UnwrapKey operation the pointer is not used and must take NULL_PTR value anytime

ulWrapOIDLen

 

length of data with DER-encoding of the object identifier indicating the data object type of GOST 28147‑89

pUKM

 

pointer to a data with UKM. If pointer takes NULL_PTR value in C_WrapKey operation then random value of UKM will be used. If pointer takes non-NULL_PTR value in C_UnwrapKey operation then the pointer value will be compared with UKM value of wrapped key. If these two values do not match the wrapped key will be rejected

ulUKMLen

 

length of UKM data. If pUKM-pointer is different from NULL_PTR then equal to 8

hKey

 

key handle. Key handle of a sender for C_WrapKey operation. Key handle of a receiver for C_UnwrapKey operation. When key handle takes CK_INVALID_HANDLE value then an ephemeral (one time) key pair of a sender will be used

CK_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS.

♦  CK_GOSTR3410_DERIVE_PARAMS

CK_GOSTR3410_DERIVE_PARAMS is a structure that provides the parameters to the CKM_GOSTR3410_DERIVE mechanism.

It is defined as follows:

typedef struct CK_GOSTR3410_DERIVE_PARAMS {

  CK_EC_KDF_TYPE kdf;

  CK_BYTE_PTR    pPublicData;

  CK_ULONG       ulPublicDataLen;

  CK_BYTE_PTR    pUKM;

  CK_ULONG       ulUKMLen;

} CK_GOSTR3410_DERIVE_PARAMS;

 

The fields of the structure have the following meanings:

kdf

 

additional key diversification algorithm identifier. Possible values are CKD_NULL and CKD_CPDIVERSIFY_KDF.  In case of CKD_NULL, result of the key derivation function

described in [RFC 4357], section 5.2 is used directly; In case of CKD_CPDIVERSIFY_KDF, the resulting key value is additionally processed with algorithm from [RFC 4357], section 6.5.

 

pPublicData1

 

pointer to data with public key of a receiver

ulPublicDataLen

 

length of data with public key of a receiver (must be 64)

pUKM

 

pointer to a UKM data

ulUKMLen

 

length of UKM data in bytes (must be 8)

 

1 Public key of a receiver is an octet string of 64 bytes long. The public key octets correspond to the concatenation of X and Y coordinates of a point. Any one of them is 32 bytes long and represented in little endian order.

 

 

CK_GOSTR3410_DERIVE_PARAMS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_GOSTR3410_DERIVE_PARAMS.

2.45.6 GOST R 34.10-2001 key pair generation

The GOST R 34.10‑2001 key pair generation mechanism, denoted CKM_GOSTR3410_KEY_PAIR_GEN, is a key pair generation mechanism for GOST R 34.10‑2001.

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

The mechanism generates GOST R 34.10‑2001 public/private key pairs with particular GOST R 34.10‑2001 domain parameters, as specified in the CKA_GOSTR3410_PARAMS, CKA_GOSTR3411_PARAMS, and CKA_GOST28147_PARAMS attributes of the template for the public key.  Note that CKA_GOST28147_PARAMS attribute may not be present in the template.

The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, and CKA_VALUE attributes to the new public key and the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_VALUE, and CKA_GOSTR3410_PARAMS, CKA_GOSTR3411_PARAMS, CKA_GOST28147_PARAMS attributes to the new private key.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure are not used.

2.45.7 GOST R 34.10-2001 without hashing

The GOST R 34.10‑2001 without hashing mechanism, denoted CKM_GOSTR3410, is a mechanism for single-part signatures and verification for GOST R 34.10‑2001.  (This mechanism corresponds only to the part of GOST R 34.10‑2001 that processes the 32-bytes hash value; it does not compute the hash value.)

This mechanism does not have a parameter.

For the purposes of these mechanisms, a GOST R 34.10‑2001 signature is an octet string of 64 bytes long. The signature octets correspond to the concatenation of the GOST R 34.10‑2001 values s and r’, both represented as a 32 bytes octet string in big endian order with the most significant byte first [RFC 4490] section 3.2, and [RFC 4491] section 2.2.2.

The input for the mechanism is an octet string of 32 bytes long with digest has computed by means of GOST R 34.11‑94 hash algorithm in the context of signed or should be signed message.

2.45.8 GOST R 34.10-2001 with GOST R 34.11-94

The GOST R 34.10‑2001 with GOST R 34.11‑94, denoted CKM_GOSTR3410_WITH_GOSTR3411, is a mechanism for signatures and verification for GOST R 34.10‑2001. This mechanism computes the entire GOST R 34.10‑2001 specification, including the hashing with GOST R 34.11‑94 hash algorithm.

As a parameter this mechanism utilizes a DER-encoding of the object identifier indicating GOST R 34.11‑94 data object type. A mechanism parameter may be missed then parameters are specified in object identifier of attribute CKA_GOSTR3411_PARAMS must be used.

For the purposes of these mechanisms, a GOST R 34.10‑2001 signature is an octet string of 64 bytes long. The signature octets correspond to the concatenation of the GOST R 34.10‑2001 values s and r’, both represented as a 32 bytes octet string in big endian order with the most significant byte first [RFC 4490] section 3.2, and [RFC 4491] section 2.2.2.

The input for the mechanism is signed or should be signed message of any length. Single- and multiple-part signature operations are available.

2.45.9 GOST 28147-89 keys wrapping/unwrapping with GOST R 34.10-2001

GOST R 34.10-2001 keys as a KEK (key encryption keys) for encryption GOST 28147 keys, denoted by CKM_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP, is a mechanism for key wrapping; and key unwrapping, based on GOST R 34.10-2001. Its purpose is to encrypt and decrypt keys have been generated by key generation mechanism for GOST 28147‑89. An encryption algorithm from [RFC 4490] (section 5.2) must be used. Encrypted key is a DER-encoded structure of ASN.1 GostR3410-KeyTransport type [RFC 4490] section 4.2.

It has a parameter, a CK_GOSTR3410_KEY_WRAP_PARAMS structure defined in section 2.45.5.

For unwrapping (C_UnwrapKey), the mechanism decrypts the wrapped key, and contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new key.

For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure are not used.

2.45.9.1 Common key derivation with assistance of GOST R 34.10-2001 keys

Common key derivation, denoted CKM_GOSTR3410_DERIVE, is a mechanism for key derivation with assistance of GOST R 34.10‑2001 private and public keys. The key of the mechanism must be of object class CKO_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS and key type CKK_GOSTR3410. An algorithm for key derivation from [RFC 4357] (section 5.2) must be used.

The mechanism contributes the result as the CKA_VALUE attribute of the new private key. All other attributes must be specified in a template for creating private key object.

[1] The encoding in V2.20 was not specified and resulted in different implementations choosing different encodings. Applications relying only on a V2.20 encoding (e.g. the DER variant) other than the one specified now (raw) may not work with all V2.30 compliant tokens.

[2] Note that the rules regarding the CKA_SENSITIVE, CKA_EXTRACTABLE, CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE, and CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attributes have changed in version 2.11 to match the policy used by other key derivation mechanisms such as CKM_SSL3_MASTER_KEY_DERIVE.

[3]
             “*” indicates 0 or more calls may be made as required

[4] “*” indicates 0 or more calls may be made as required

[5] Applications that may need to retrieve the next OTP should be prepared to handle this situation. For example, an application could store the OTP value returned by C_Sign so that, if a next OTP is required, it can compare it to the OTP value returned by subsequent calls to C_Sign should it turn out that the library does not support the CKF_NEXT_OTP flag.
