Create an application partition for Futurex CNG

to segregate applications on the hsm, you must create an application partition specifically for your use case application partitions segment the permissions and keys between applications on an hsm choose one of the following methods to create an application partition excrypt manager perform the following steps on excrypt manager to create an application partition go to the application partitions menu and select \[ add ] in the basic information tab, configure all of the fields as follows option required configuration role name specify any name that you would like for this new application partition logins required set to 1 if the hsm is in fips mode, you must set logins required to 2 ports set to prod connection sources set to ethernet managed roles leave blank because you specify the exact permissions , key slots , and commands for this application partition or role to have access to use dual factor set to never upgrade permissions leave unchecked in the permissions tab, select the following key permissions permission description keys top level permission authorized allows for keys that require login import pki allows trusting an external pki generally not recommended, but some applications use this option for pki symmetric key wrapping no usage wrap enables interoperable key wrapping without defining key usage as part of the wrapped key use this only if you want to exchange keys with external entities or use the hsm to wrap externally used keys in the key slots tab, we recommend you create a range of 1000 total keys that do not overlap with another application partition within the specified range, you should have ranges for both symmetric and asymmetric keys if the application requires more keys, configure it accordingly to use the hsm functionality, you must enable particular functions on the application partition based on application requirements enable the following commands under commands cng communication commands command description echo communication test/retrieve version hash retrieve device serial gpkm retrieve key table information gpkr general purpose key settings get (read only) gpks general purpose key settings get/change rand generate random data prmd retrieve hsm restrictions key operations commands command description apfp generate pki public key from private key asyl load asymmetric key into key table gecc generate an ecc key pair gpca general purpose add certificate to key table gpgs general purpose generate symmetric key gpka general purpose key add gpkd general purpose key slot delete/clear grsa generate rsa private and public key lrsa load key into rsa key table rpfp get public components from rsa private key interoperable key wrapping command description gpku general purpose key unwrap (unrestricted) gpuk general purpose key unwrap (preserves key usage) gpkw general purpose key wrap (unrestricted) gpwk general purpose key wrap (preserves key usage) data encryption commands command description adpk pki decrypt trusted public key ghsh generate a hash (message digest) starting in firmware version 7 x, this function is enabled by default and does not need to be specified gpse general purpose symmetric encrypt gpsd general purpose symmetric decrypt gpgc general purpose generate cryptogram from key slot gpmc general purpose mac (message authentication code) gpsr general purpose rsa encrypt/decrypt or sign/verify with recovery hmac generate a hash based message authentication code rdpk get clear public key from cryptogram signing commands command description asys generate a signature using a pki private key asyv verify a signature using a public key gpsv general purpose data sign and verify rsas generate a signature using a rsa private key fxcli run the following role fxcli commands to create the new application partition and enable all needed functions fxcli role add –name role name –application –key range (0,999) –perm "keys\ authorized" –perm "keys\ import pki" – perm "keys\ no usage wrap" fxcli role modify name \[role name] add perm excrypt\ echo add perm excrypt\ prmd add perm excrypt\ rand add perm excrypt\ hash add perm excrypt\ gpkm add perm excrypt\ gpks add perm excrypt\ gpkr – add perm excrypt\ apfp –add perm excrypt\ asyl – add perm excrypt\ gecc – add perm excrypt\ gpca – add perm excrypt\ gpgs –add perm excrypt\ gpka – add perm excrypt\ gpkd – add perm excrypt\ grsa – add perm excrypt\ lrsa –add perm excrypt\ rpfp – add perm excrypt\ gpku – add perm excrypt\ gpuk –add perm excrypt\ gpkw – add perm excrypt\ gpwk – add perm excrypt\ adpk – add perm excrypt\ ghsh – add perm excrypt\ gped – add perm excrypt\ gpgc –add perm excrypt\ gpmc – add perm excrypt\ gpsr – add perm excrypt\ hmac –add perm excrypt\ rdpk – add perm excrypt\ asys –add perm excrypt\ asyv –add perm excrypt\ gpsv – add perm excrypt\ rsas
