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.
