Subject: RE: [pkcs11] Is it time to drop ECDSA references in the standard?
This seems reasonable. Would we be moving them to historical mechs? Or a new list of “removed”? Valerie All, I support removal of the deprecated items. The major release of PKCS#11 3.0 is the best moment for doing so. Thanks, Dieter From:

On Behalf Of Tim Hudson If we are going to look at removing items that have been deprecated (a reasonable idea IMHO), then we should remove all deprecated items which would be the following list (just from a quick look at pkcs11t.h): #define CKK_ECDSA 0x00000003UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKK_CAST5 0x00000018UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKA_ECDSA_PARAMS 0x00000180UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKA_SECONDARY_AUTH 0x00000200UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKA_AUTH_PIN_FLAGS 0x00000201UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKM_CAST5_CBC 0x00000322UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKM_CAST5_MAC 0x00000323UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKM_CAST5_MAC_GENERAL 0x00000324UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKM_CAST5_CBC_PAD 0x00000325UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKM_PBE_MD5_CAST5_CBC 0x000003A4UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKM_PBE_SHA1_CAST5_CBC 0x000003A5UL /* Deprecated */ #define CKM_ECDSA_KEY_PAIR_GEN 0x00001040UL /* Deprecated */ CK_AES_GCM_PARAMS /* Deprecated. Use CK_GCM_PARAMS */ CK_AES_CCM_PARAMS /* Deprecated. Use CK_CCM_PARAMS */ Of those items CKA_SECONDARY_AUTH and CKA_AUTH_PIN_FLAGS are the only ones which are not a simple renaming (i.e. there is another name for precisely the same concept). From a header file perspective we could introduce a define that allows deprecated items to be included (if we don't simply want to remove them). Keeping deprecated items which were deprecated (most of them) 17 years ago seems unnecessary. Tim. On Sat, Nov 18, 2017 at 11:54 PM, Johnson Darren <darren.johnson@gemalto.com> wrote:
