Macro Definition Documentation

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_EXPORT

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_EXPORT   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00000001)

Whether the key may be exported.

A public key or the public part of a key pair may always be exported regardless of the value of this permission flag.

If a key does not have export permission, implementations shall not allow the key to be exported in plain form from the cryptoprocessor, whether through ifx_se_export_key() or through a proprietary interface. The key may however be exportable in a wrapped form, i.e. in a form where it is encrypted by another key.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_COPY

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_COPY   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00000002)

Whether the key may be copied.

This flag allows the use of ifx_se_copy_key() to make a copy of the key with the same policy or a more restrictive policy.

For lifetimes for which the key is located in a secure element which enforce the non-exportability of keys, copying a key outside the secure element also requires the usage flag IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_EXPORT. Copying the key inside the secure element is permitted with just IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_COPY if the secure element supports it. For keys with the lifetime IFX_SE_KEY_LIFETIME_VOLATILE or IFX_SE_KEY_LIFETIME_PERSISTENT, the usage flag IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_COPY is sufficient to permit the copy.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_ENCRYPT

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_ENCRYPT   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00000100)

Whether the key may be used to encrypt a message.

This flag allows the key to be used for a symmetric encryption operation, for an AEAD encryption-and-authentication operation, or for an asymmetric encryption operation, if otherwise permitted by the key's type and policy.

For a key pair, this concerns the public key.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_DECRYPT

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_DECRYPT   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00000200)

Whether the key may be used to decrypt a message.

This flag allows the key to be used for a symmetric decryption operation, for an AEAD decryption-and-verification operation, or for an asymmetric decryption operation, if otherwise permitted by the key's type and policy.

For a key pair, this concerns the private key.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_MESSAGE   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00000400)

Whether the key may be used to sign a message.

This flag allows the key to be used for a MAC calculation operation or for an asymmetric message signature operation, if otherwise permitted by the key's type and policy.

For a key pair, this concerns the private key.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_MESSAGE   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00000800)

Whether the key may be used to verify a message.

This flag allows the key to be used for a MAC verification operation or for an asymmetric message signature verification operation, if otherwise permitted by the key's type and policy.

For a key pair, this concerns the public key.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00001000)

Whether the key may be used to sign a message.

This flag allows the key to be used for a MAC calculation operation or for an asymmetric signature operation, if otherwise permitted by the key's type and policy.

For a key pair, this concerns the private key.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_HASH   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00002000)

Whether the key may be used to verify a message signature.

This flag allows the key to be used for a MAC verification operation or for an asymmetric signature verification operation, if otherwise permitted by by the key's type and policy.

For a key pair, this concerns the public key.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_DERIVE

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_DERIVE   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00004000)

Whether the key may be used to derive other keys or produce a password hash.

This flag allows the key to be used for a key derivation operation or for a key agreement operation, if otherwise permitted by by the key's type and policy.

If this flag is present on all keys used in calls to ifx_se_key_derivation_input_key() for a key derivation operation, then it permits calling ifx_se_key_derivation_output_bytes() or ifx_se_key_derivation_output_key() at the end of the operation.

IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_DERIVATION

#define IFX_SE_KEY_USAGE_VERIFY_DERIVATION   ((ifx_se_key_usage_t)0x00008000)

Whether the key may be used to verify the result of a key derivation, including password hashing.

This flag allows the key to be used:

This flag allows the key to be used in a key derivation operation, if otherwise permitted by by the key's type and policy.

If this flag is present on all keys used in calls to ifx_se_key_derivation_input_key() for a key derivation operation, then it permits calling ifx_se_key_derivation_verify_bytes() or ifx_se_key_derivation_verify_key() at the end of the operation.
