IV98150: 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
  .
  This is an update to the the Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman Key
  Agreement support offered by the IBMPKCS11Impl provider which
  added 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, the
  IBMPKCS11Impl provider also supports 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 support 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.
