Creating a storage data key (Thales ProtectServer)

After installing a Thales ProtectServer hardware security module, you need to create a secret key to use as the OneSpan Authentication Server storage data key.

Use the Thales ProtectServer Key Management Utility to create a sensitive data key. This requires an administrator logon to the token. Note the token label and key label used.

When creating a storage key, the following key attributes are required:

  • Double or triple DES
  • Sensitive enabled
  • Exportable optional, if key backup in use
  • Encrypt enabled
  • Wrap and unwrap enabled
  • Private optional
  • All other options disabled
