List of Used Keys

The following keys are used in the PowerAuth cryptography scheme.

name created as purpose
KEY_DEVICE_PRIVATE ECDH - private key Generated on client to allow construction of KEY_MASTER_SECRET.
KEY_DEVICE_PUBLIC ECDH - public key Generated on client to allow construction of KEY_MASTER_SECRET.
KEY_SERVER_PRIVATE ECDH - private key Generated on server to allow construction of KEY_MASTER_SECRET.
KEY_SERVER_PUBLIC ECDH - public key Generated on server to allow construction of KEY_MASTER_SECRET.
KEY_SERVER_MASTER_PRIVATE ECDH - private key Stored on server, used to assure authenticity of KEY_DEVICE_PUBLIC while transferring from server to client
KEY_SERVER_MASTER_PUBLIC ECDH - public key Stored on client, used to assure authenticity of KEY_DEVICE_PUBLIC while transferring from server to client
KEY_MASTER_SECRET ECDH - pre-shared A key deduced using ECDH derivation, KEY_MASTER_SECRET = ECDH.phase(KEY_DEVICE_PRIVATE, KEY_SERVER_PUBLIC) = ECDH.phase(KEY_SERVER_PRIVATE, KEY_DEVICE_PUBLIC) and then reduced with ByteUtils.convert32Bto16B().
KEY_SIGNATURE_POSSESSION KDF derived key from KEY_MASTER_SECRET A signing key associated with the possession, factor deduced using KDF derivation with INDEX = 1, KEY_SIGNATURE_POSSESSION = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 1), used for subsequent request signing.
KEY_SIGNATURE_KNOWLEDGE KDF derived key from KEY_MASTER_SECRET A key associated with the knowledge factor, deduced using KDF derivation with INDEX = 2, KEY_SIGNATURE_KNOWLEDGE = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 2), used for subsequent request signing.
KEY_SIGNATURE_BIOMETRY KDF derived key from KEY_MASTER_SECRET A key associated with the biometry factor, deduced using KDF derivation with INDEX = 3, KEY_SIGNATURE_BIOMETRY = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 3), used for subsequent request signing.
KEY_TRANSPORT KDF derived key from KEY_MASTER_SECRET A key deduced using KDF derivation with INDEX = 1000, KEY_TRANSPORT = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 1000), used for encrypted data transport. This key is used as master transport key for end-to-end encryption key derivation.
KEY_ENCRYPTION_VAULT KDF derived key from KEY_MASTER_SECRET A key deduced using KDF derivation with INDEX = 2000, KEY_ENCRYPTION_VAULT = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 2000), used for encrypting a vault that stores the secret data, such as KEY_DEVICE_PRIVATE.
KEY_TRANSPORT_IV KDF derived key from KEY_TRANSPORT A key deduced using KDF derivation with INDEX = 3000, KEY_ENCRYPTION_IV = KDF.derive(KEY_TRANSPORT, 3000), used for derivation of initial vector, that encrypts activation status blob.
KEY_TRANSPORT_CTR KDF derived key from KEY_TRANSPORT A key deduced using KDF derivation with INDEX = 4000, KEY_TRANSPORT_CTR = KDF.derive(KEY_TRANSPORT, 4000), used for computing hash from current value of hash-based counter.
