Connection Authentication, AES 32 byte key

[deang]

Can you authenticate with a 32 byte AES key vs. 16 byte key?  I am able to connect using kSSS_AuthType_AESKey   OK when the key is 16 bytes, fails when I try a 32 byte key.

Thanks,

Dean G.

Digging further, the SCP03 protocol spec from GlobalPlatform, Card spec V2.3, Amendment D Versin 1.1.2 March 2019 (Document GPC_SPE_014) does allow for 32 byte keys.  But this is the official spec, what is actually supported by NXP is "implementation specific".  So while the spec says Yes 32 byte keys allowed, NXP just didn't implement it.  That's my guess.

Hi @deang ,

Did you build the application based on the MW? Is it possible to share part of your code for Connection Authentication? We may try to reproduce this issue here.

Thanks for your patience!

Have a great day,
Kan

Hi Kan,

Yes I am using the MW.  The attached source file (Test_SE_project.c) contains my test code.  Ignore all of the other test code, the init_se050() function is where authentication is failing when using 256 AES key vs. 128.   Use the SE_AUTH_AES authentication type, the keys are set in create_aes_authkey(),  the aes_auth_key is used.  If I set to 32 bytes it fails.
