3. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply: API Application programming interface. Application Any computer program that calls the Cryptoki interface. ASN.1 Abstract Syntax Notation One, as defined in X.680. Attribute A characteristic of an object. BATON MISSI’s BATON block cipher. BER Basic Encoding Rules, as defined in X.690. CAST Entrust Technologies’ proprietary symmetric block cipher. CAST3 Entrust Technologies’ proprietary symmetric block cipher. CAST5 Another name for Entrust Technologies’ symmetric block cipher CAST128. CAST128 is the preferred name. CAST128 Entrust Technologies’ symmetric block cipher. CBC Cipher-Block Chaining mode, as defined in FIPS PUB 81. CDMF Commercial Data Masking Facility, a block encipherment method specified by International Business Machines Corporation and based on DES. Certificate A signed message binding a subject name and a public key. Cryptographic Device A device storing cryptographic information and possibly performing cryptographic functions. May be implemented as a smart card, smart disk, PCMCIA card, or with some other technology, including software-only. Cryptoki The Cryptographic Token Interface defined in this standard. Cryptoki library A library that implements the functions specified in this standard. DER Distinguished Encoding Rules, as defined in X.690. DES Data Encryption Standard, as defined in FIPS PUB 46-2. DSA Digital Signature Algorithm, as defined in FIPS PUB 186. ECB Electronic Codebook mode, as defined in FIPS PUB 81. ECDSA Elliptic Curve DSA, as in ANSI X9.62. FASTHASH MISSI’s FASTHASH message-digesting algorithm. IDEA Ascom Systec’s symmetric block cipher. JUNIPER MISSI’s JUNIPER block cipher. Download 360.55 Kb. Share with your friends:
