FCS_CKM.1     Cryptographic key generation

User application notes

This component requires the cryptographic key sizes and method used to generate cryptographic keys to be specified, this can be in accordance with an assigned standard. It should be used to specify the cryptographic key sizes and the method (e.g. algorithm) used to generate the cryptographic keys. Only one instance of the component is needed for the same method and multiple key sizes. The key size could be common or different for the various entities, and could be either the input to or the output from the method.

Operations

Assignment:

In FCS_CKM.1.1, the PP/ST author should specify the cryptographic key generation algorithm to be used.

In FCS_CKM.1.1, the PP/ST author should specify the cryptographic key sizes to be used. The key sizes specified should be appropriate for the algorithm and its intended use.

In FCS_CKM.1.1, the PP/ST author should specify the assigned standard that documents the method used to generate cryptographic keys. The assigned standard may comprise none, one or more actual standards publications, for example, from international, national, industry or organisational standards.
