CKM_RSA_PKCS
NOTE This mechanism name and RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 are referring to the same underlying RSA signature scheme.
Firmware 7.8.4 and Newer Summary
NOTE Using Luna HSM Firmware 7.8.4 and newer, this mechanism is restricted from all wrap/unwrap/encrypt/decrypt operations in FIPS mode. No exceptions are made for decrypt/unwrap operations using larger key sizes. This limited legacy use was permitted under FIPS 140-2; it is no longer approved under FIPS 140-3.

Firmware 7.7.2-7.8.2 Summary
NOTE Under Functions restricted from FIPS use, "Cannot legacy decrypt and "Cannot legacy unwrap" means that these operations are restricted with smaller keys (1024-bits, the previous minimum key size for FIPS use), but keys that meet the minimum FIPS size requirement (2048 bits) can still be used for decrypt and unwrap operations.

NOTE When the HSM is in FIPS mode, this mechanism cannot be used to sign data using less than 224 bits.
This algorithm must be combined with a FIPS-approved hash algorithm to be FIPS compliant.
