Description

This mechanism is used to perform MAC calculation for MILENAGE functions F1, F1* and F2 as per the specification available at http://www.3gpp.org/specifications/60-confidentiality-algorithms, using the PKCS functions C_SignInit() and C_Sign().

The mechanism requires the 16-byte milenage key 'K' to be initialized as an AES key on the HSM slot. The key should have the CKA_SIGN attribute set to TRUE. The 16-byte Operator Variant key should be stored on the HSM slot as a Generic Secret key (CKK_GENERIC_SECRET).

The mechanism takes a parameter, CK_MILENAGE_SIGN_PARAMS. See ctvdef.h for description.

NOTE   Only a 16-byte AES key and a 16-byte Operator Variant are supported with this mechanism.
