Notes / To Do
| Notes | This document shows that the security aspects of S/MIME's key wrap was being discussed in 1999, including an integrity check using salting techniques which are used to verify the delivered key. This places a date on their dicussions, which is well before |
Excerpt
Excerpt And the size of salt and/or padding should not be fixed, as it might be necessary to deal with KEK algorithms of arbitrary structure, ranging from some 1-bit stream cipher such as DES CFB to perhaps a 256 bit AES block. I wouldn't necessarily even assume that the internal blocks were multiples of 8 bits. |

Claims
2
The signal bearing medium of Claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:
encrypting the intermixing of the known text and the random text with the user data key prior to the encryption of the user data key with the encryption key, wherein the verification text is the encrypted intermixing of the known text and the random text.
Relevance
A process of intermixing of the random text with the verification text is called salting.
A process of intermixing of the random text with the verification text is called salting.
