Description

This mechanism is used to perform key derivation for TUAK functions F1, F1* and F2 as per the specification TS-35.231, available at http://www.3gpp.org, using the PKCS functions C_DeriveKey().

The mechanism requires the 16- or 32-byte TUAK key 'K' to be initialized as an AES key on the HSM slot. The key should have the CKA_DERIVE attribute set to TRUE. The 16- or 32-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_TUAK_DERIVE_PARAMS. See ctvdef.h for description.

The resultant derived key(s) are of the type "CKK_GENERIC_SECRET" using the supplied user template. Attempts to create any other type of key will result in an error.

NOTE   Only a 16- or 32-byte AES key and a 16- or 32-byte Operator Variant are supported with this mechanism.
