SafeNet ProtectToolkit-C Mechanisms

Characteristics of all SafeNet ProtectToolkit-C mechanisms are summarized in the pages that follow. Both PKCS #11 standard mechanisms and Gemalto-proprietary mechanisms are included.

Available Mechanisms contains a full list of available mechanisms and a secondary list of mechanisms that are available in FIPS Mode. Continue to the individual mechanism pages for full descriptions.

NOTE Functions in bold are Gemalto-proprietary. See also PTK-C Vendor-Defined Error Codes.

NOTE Key size limitations specified above may be further limited, depending on the specific operation being performed. For example: CKM_DES3_CBC specifies a 16-byte key as a lower limit, but in FIPS mode, such keys are only allowed for legacy decryption operations and not new encryptions. See the section detailing the relevant mechanism for more information.
