Hmmm. Good point. I it sounds like it's is trying to say "the RFC 8032 value is wrapped by DER octet wrapped by DER octet, but 1) "DER octet value wrapped inside" is wrong, and I believe we just mean a single DER-Encoded value.On 7/22/21 11:39 AM, Jonathan Schulze-Hewett wrote:All,What does "DER-encoded octet value wrapped inside a DER-octet header of the b-bit public key value in little endian order as defined in RFC 8032" mean?
I think that's what is intended, but you are right, the english doesn't quite work. Did we have something think that "DER-encoding" didn't include the header?Sections 6.3.5, 6.3.6, 6.3.7, and 6.3.8 were updated to this language because they were inconsistent. They are now consistent across CKA_EC_POINT public keyvalues and CKA_VALUE private key values. They all start with the same "DER-encoded octet value wrapped inside a DER-octet header..." whereaspreviously they either had just "b-bit private key value in little endianorder" or "DER-encoding of the b-bit public key".Are they an "ASN.1 DER-encoded OCTET STRING containing the b-bit..." or doesthis mean something else?
Thanks, Jonathan
