Clear Key Import (CSNBCKI)

Edit online

Use the Clear Key Import verb to import a clear DATA key that is to be used to encipher or decipher data.

This verb can import only DATA keys. The Clear Key Import verb accepts an 8-byte clear DATA key, enciphers it under the master key, and returns the encrypted DATA key in operational form in an internal key token.

If the clear key value does not have odd parity in the low-order bit of each byte, the verb returns a warning value in the reason_code parameter. This verb does not adjust the parity of the key.

Note: This service has been deprecated. New applications should use the Multiple Clear Key Import service that is described in Multiple Clear Key Import (CSNBCKM) instead of this service. The Multiple Clear Key Import service supports 8-byte, 16-byte, and 24-byte DES DATA keys and AES DATA keys.

This verb does not need to document any Restrictions nor Usage notes.
