Examples of single-length keys in one form only
An example of single-length keys.
Key Key
Form 1
OP DATA Encipher or Decipher data. Use Data Key Export or Key Export
to send encrypted key to another cryptograpic partner. Then
communicate the ciphertext.
OP MAC MAC Generate. Because no MACVER key exists, there is no
secure communication of the MAC with another cryptographic
partner.
IM DATA Key Import, and then Encipher or Decipher. Then Key Export
to communicate ciphertext and key with another cryptographic
partner.
EX DATA You can send this key to a cryptographic partner, but you
can do nothing with it directly. Use it for the key
distribution service. The partner could then use Key Import
to get it in operational form, and use it as in OP DATA
above.
