    摘要: Data cryptography is achieved in an improved manner by associating with the data cryptography key, a control vector which provides the authorization for the uses of the key intended by the originator of the key. Among the uses specified by the control vector are limitations on encryption, decryption, authentication code generation and verification, translation of the user's data. Complex combinations of data manipulation functions are possible using the control vectors, in accordance with the invention. The system administrator can exercise flexibility in changing the implementation of his security policy by selecting appropriate control vectors in accordance with the invention. Complex scenarios such as encrypted mail box, session protection, file protection, ciphertext translation center, peer-to-peer ciphertext translation, message authentication, message authentication with non-repudiation and many others can be easily implemented by a system designer using the control vectors, in accordance with the invention.

    摘要: The invention is an apparatus and method for validating that key management functions requested for a cryptographic key by the program have been authorized by the originator of the key. The invention includes a cryptographic facility characterized by a secure boundary through which passes an input path for receiving the cryptographic service requests, cryptographic keys and their associated control vectors, and an output path for providing responses thereto. There can be included within the boundary a cryptographic instruction storage coupled to the input path, a control vector checking unit and a cryptographic processing unit coupled to the instruction storage, and a master key storage coupled to the processing means, for providing a secure location for executing key management functions in response to the received service requests. The cryptographic instruction storage receives over the input path a cryptographic service request for performing a key management function on a cryptographic key. The control vector checking unit has an input coupled to the input path for receiving a control vector associated with the cryptographic key and an input connected to the cryptographic instruction storage, for receiving control signals to initiate checking that the control vector authorizes the key management function which is requested by the cryptographic service request. The control vector checking unit has an authorization output connected to an input of the cryptographic processing means, for signalling that the key management function is authorized, the receipt of which by the cryptographic processing unit initiates the performance of the requested key management function with the cryptographic key. The invention enables the flexible control of many cryptographic key management functions in the generation, distribution and use of cryptographic keys, while maintaining a high security standard.

    摘要: Cryptographic PIN processing is achieved in an improved manner by associating control vectors with the PIN generating (verification) keys and PIN encrypting keys which provide authorization for the uses of the keys intended by the originator of the keys. The originator may be the local cryptographic facility (CF) and a utility program under the control of a security administrator, or the originator may be another network node which uses the key management methods described in the above-referenced copending patent applications to distribute said keys.Among the uses specified by the control vector are limitations on the authority to use the associated key with certain PIN processing instructions, such as PIN generation, verification, translation and PIN block creation. Furthermore, the control vector may limit the authority of certain instructions to process clear PIN inputs (such as in PIN verification). The control vector may contain information identifying and, possibly restricting, PIN processing to a particular PIN format or particular processing algorithm.The control vector implementation provides a flexible method for coupling format, usage, and processing authorization to keys. The system administrator can exercise flexibility in changing the implementation of his security policy by selecting appropriate control vectors in accordance with the invention. Furthermore, a method is provided for the security administrator to restrict certain PIN format translations.

    摘要: A working key of a certain key type is to be transmitted from a first system (having a first usage-control value associated with keys of the certain type) and a second system (having a second usage-control value associated with keys of the certain type). A translation control value, associated with the certain key type, is generated, functionally relating the first and second usage-control values. The translation control value is used in a cryptographic function to send or receive the working key between systems, the cryptographic function being designed to produce valid results when the correct translation control value, and usage-control values, are employed, and unpredictable results otherwise. Effectively, the first usage-control value is translated to the second usage-control value.

    摘要: A cryptographic facility implements a multiple key part import procedure. The installation manager can verify that a key part has been correctly entered and has not been compromised. The security requirement for the procedure is that no single party can subvert the system security by misusing the procedure. This is accomplished by the use of a control-vector-dependent verification pattern to indicate that each key part has been accepted by using the proper control vector and the use of different key switch positions to specify whether the key part is a master key part or an operational key part and whether the key part is a first part or a subsequent key part. The apparatus provides an automatic reset of the key part register at the completion of each key-entry instruction so that each key part can be imported only once. This prevents the same key part from being imported twice as different key part types. The apparatus also prevents a key part from being combined with itself to create a known key. The procedure is fail-safe so that the program cannot steal a key part from a previously failed procedure.

    摘要: A facility for making dynamic changes to a system master key without stopping the system, and without loss of integrity to ongoing cryptographic operations. A version number is generated and associated with the current master key. A dynamic change is made to the master key, resulting in the then current master key becoming the old master key, and a "new" current master key (with a new version number) being placed into operation. Subsequent cryptographic requests using a supplied key enciphered under the old master key are identified by means of a supplied version number associated with the supplied key. This identification triggers a reencipher operation, reenciphering the supplied key under the now current master key--after which the cryptographic operation proceeds. Unique patterns are generated to verify the contents of the master key registers, and to authorize normal use of the cryptographic facility, and issuers of key-change operations.

    摘要: A decimal floating point finite number in a decimal floating point format is composed from the number in a different format. A decimal floating point format includes fields to hold information relating to the sign, exponent and significand of the decimal floating point finite number. Other decimal floating point data, including infinities and NaNs (not a number), are also composed. Decimal floating point data are also decomposed from the decimal floating point format to a different format. For composition and decomposition, one or more instructions may be employed, including a shift significand instruction.
