Component Description

Import Key
The Import Key section allows you to import clear text keys on SKMs. Asymmetric keys must be imported
in PEM-encoded ASN.1 DER-encoded PKCS #1 format, and both the public and private keys must be
imported. Symmetric keys must be in Base 16 format, and in the case of DES keys, parity bits must
be properly set.
IMPORTANT:
The server will not import keys that are known to be weak, such as 64 bit DES. In addition, the parity bits
must be set properly; otherwise, the server returns an error.
