Key Type and Storage Definition
- Device key and internal user keys
- The device key can be generated or installed only during device initialization. Internal user keys can be generated or installed using the cryptographic device management tool.
- The device key and internal user keys are stored in the key storage area. Their index numbers start from 0. Each index number corresponds to a signature key pair and an encryption key pair. The index number 0 indicates the device key. The index numbers starting from 1 indicate user keys.
