Problem summary

  • The IBMPKCS11Impl provider cannot process requests for
SHA-512/256 or SHA-512/224 message digests.  Therefore, it must
be modified to ensure that these requests are handled
appropriately when received.
Calls to the IBMPKCS11Impl provider which could potentially
utilize these digests include:
- SHA-512/256 or SHA-512/224 message digests
- SHA-512/256withRSA and SHA-512/224withRSA signatures
- RSA//OAEP cipher calls where the OAEP parameters carry
   SHA-512/256 or SHA-512/224 message digests, or
   SHA-512/256 or SHA-512/224 MGF1ParameterSpec's, or both.
-  RSAPSS signature calls where the PSSParameters carry
   SHA-512/256 or SHA-512/224 message digests, or
   SHA-512/256 or SHA-512/224 MGF1ParameterSpec's, or both.

Problem conclusion

  • SHA-512/256 and SHA-512/224 message digests are already handled
correctly by the IBMPKCS11Impl provider because service
definitions do not exist for them.
Similarly, SHA-512/256withRSA and SHA-512/224withRSA signatures
are already handled correctly by the IBMPKCS11Impl provider
because service definitions do not exist for them.

Defensive logic has been added to IBMPKCS11Impl code that
processes RSA//OAEP ciphers.  An appropriate exception will be
thrown if the OAEP parameters carry
SHA-512/256 or SHA-512/224 message digests, or SHA-512/256 or
SHA-512/224 MGF1ParameterSpec's, or both.
