IV98106: IBMPKCS11IMPL UPDATE TO ECDH KEY AGREEMENT, AND THE ADDITION OF NEW SUPPORT FOR THE RSA//OAEP CIPHER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: N/A
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  Two new pieces of functionality are being delivered for the
  IBMPKCS11Impl provider.
  The first is an update to the the Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman
  Key Agreement support offered by the IBMPKCS11Impl provider to
  add support for
  KDF functions (key derivation functions) with shared
  information.
  In addition to adding support for the set of KDF functions
  defined by the PKCS#11 specification version 2.30, this update
  to the IBMPKCS11Impl provider also adds support for a new
  SafeNet/Gemalto "proprietary" KDF defined for the Luna SA.  The
  new Luna SA KDF value is defined within a new IBMPKCS11Impl
  class named "KDFParameterSpec.java", and has the following
  value:
  public static final int CKD_SHA256_NIST_KDF = 0x80000014;
  The updates described above enhance the functionality of the
  IBMPKCS11Impl "ECDH" KeyAgreement algorithm (CKM_ECDH1_DERIVE).
  The updates described above also add support for a new
  IBMPKCS11Impl "ECDHCofactor" KeyAgreement algorithm
  (CKM_ECDH1_COFACTOR_DERIVE).
  The enhancements for KDF functions with shared information have
  been made for both the "ECDH" algorithm and the "ECDHCofactor"
  algorithm.
  The second piece of functionality delivered for the
  IBMPKCS11Impl provider is the addition of new support for the
  RSA//OAEP cipher.
