ICSF TR-34 support

In order to comply with PCI 3 (Payment Cards Industry) requirements for elimination of the usage of SHA-1 in RSA cryptography, as well as the requirement for "key bundling", NCR has elected to implement support the following "technical recommendations":
- ASC X9 TR-31 2010 (Interoperable Secure Key Exchange Key Block Specification for Symmetric Algorithms)
- ASC X9 TR-34 2012 (Interoperable Method for Distribution of Symmetric Keys using Asymmetric Techniques: Part 1 – Using Factoring-Based Public Key Cryptography Unilateral Key Transport)

TR-34 is the only support that NCR will have to:
1) Use SHA-256 instead of SHA-1 during RSA key distribution.
2) Distribute TR-31 Key Protection Keys.

I have been told that TR-34 is not currently supported by ICSF and the mainframe CryptoExpress features. As we are already out of compliance (as of December 2016) with regard to the SHA requirement, we require TR-34 support as soon as possible.

    Is there any update to this request? This functionality is required for encryption key distribution that conforms to PCI 3 on NCR ATMs.

    Kind of amusing, as I originally opened this under Hardware; Security / Crypto. I then switched it to ICSF, thinking it would be an API concern rather than a hardware concern. Guess I was right in the first place! :-)
