CIPHER_KeyWrap

CIPHER_KeyWrap wraps a content-encryption key with a key-encryption key.

VB6/VBA Syntax

Public Declare Function CIPHER_KeyWrap Lib "diCrPKI.dll" (ByRef abOutput As Byte, ByVal nOutBytes As Long, ByRef abData As Byte, ByVal nDataLen As Long, ByRef abKek As Byte, ByVal nKekLen As Long, ByVal nOptions As Long) As Long

nRet = CIPHER_KeyWrap(abOutput(0), nOutBytes, abInput(0), nDataLen, abKek(0), nKekLen, nOptions)

Parameters

abOutput
[out] Byte array of sufficient length to receive the output.
nOutBytes
[in] Long specifying the maximum length of the output array.
abData
[in] Byte array containing the input data (key material).
nDataLen
[in] Long specifying the length of the input data in bytes.
abKek
[in] Byte array containing the key encryption key.
nKekLen
[in] Long specifying the length of the key encryption key.
nOptions
[in] Long option flags:
Select the key wrap algorithm from one of the following:
PKI_BC_AES128 to use AES128-Wrap
PKI_BC_AES192 to use AES128-Wrap
PKI_BC_AES256 to use AES128-Wrap
PKI_BC_3DES to use cms3DESWrap

C/C++ Syntax

long _stdcall CIPHER_KeyWrap(unsigned char *lpOutput, long nOutBytes, const unsigned char *lpData, long nDataLen, const unsigned char *lpKEK, long nKekLen, long nOptions);

Returns (VB6/C)

Long: If successful, the return value is the number of bytes in the output; otherwise it returns a negative error code.

Cipher.KeyWrap Method

Remarks

This wraps (encrypts) key material using a key encryption key (KEK) and uses either the AES Key Wrap Algorithm from RFC 3394 [AES-WRAP] or the Triple-DES Key Wrap algorithm from RFC 3217 [RFC3217]. There is no default algorithm. The algorithm must be specified in the nOptions parameter. The input data to be wrapped must be a valid length for the underlying data encapsulation mechanism; specifically, at least 16 bytes and a multiple of 8 bytes for AES, or exactly 24 bytes for Triple DES. To find the required length for the output wrapped key, pass zero as the nOutBytes parameter (Hint: an AES-wrapped key is exactly 8 bytes longer than the input; a triple-DES-wrapped key is 16 bytes longer). No parity bit checks or changes are made for a Triple-DES key.

Example

Dim abWK() As Byte
Dim abKeyData() As Byte
Dim abKek() As Byte
Dim nWkLen As Long
Dim nKdLen As Long
Dim nKekLen As Long

abKeyData = cnvBytesFromHexStr("00112233 44556677 8899aabb ccddeeff")
abKek = cnvBytesFromHexStr("c17a44e8 e28d7d64 81d1ddd5 0a3b8914")
nKdLen = UBound(abKeyData) + 1
nKekLen = UBound(abKek) + 1

nWkLen = CIPHER_KeyWrap(0, 0, abKeyData(0), nKdLen, abKek(0), nKekLen, PKI_BC_AES128)
If nWkLen <= 0 Then
    Debug.Print " returns " & nWkLen & ": " & pkiErrorLookup(nWkLen)
    Exit Sub
End If
ReDim abWK(nWkLen - 1)
nWkLen = CIPHER_KeyWrap(abWK(0), nWkLen, abKeyData(0), nKdLen, abKek(0), nKekLen, PKI_BC_AES128)
Debug.Print "WK=" & cnvHexStrFromBytes(abWK)

abKeyData = cnvBytesFromHexStr("8cbedec4 8d063e1b a46be8e3 69a9c398 d8e30ee5 42bc347c 4f30e928 ddd7db49")
abKek = cnvBytesFromHexStr("9e84ee99 e6a84b50 c76cd414 a2d2ec05 8af41bfe 4bf3715b f894c8da 1cd445f6")
nKdLen = UBound(abKeyData) + 1
nKekLen = UBound(abKek) + 1

nWkLen = CIPHER_KeyWrap(0, 0, abKeyData(0), nKdLen, abKek(0), nKekLen, PKI_BC_AES256)
If nWkLen <= 0 Then
    Debug.Print " returns " & nWkLen & ": " & pkiErrorLookup(nWkLen)
    Exit Sub
End If
ReDim abWK(nWkLen - 1)
nWkLen = CIPHER_KeyWrap(abWK(0), nWkLen, abKeyData(0), nKdLen, abKek(0), nKekLen, PKI_BC_AES256)
Debug.Print "WK=" & cnvHexStrFromBytes(abWK)

abKeyData = cnvBytesFromHexStr("84e7f2d8 78f89fcc cd2d5eba fc56daf7 3300f27e f771cd68")
abKek = cnvBytesFromHexStr("8ad8274e 56f46773 8edd83d4 394e5e29 af7c4089 e4f8d9f4")
nKdLen = UBound(abKeyData) + 1
nKekLen = UBound(abKek) + 1

nWkLen = CIPHER_KeyWrap(0, 0, abKeyData(0), nKdLen, abKek(0), nKekLen, PKI_BC_3DES)
If nWkLen <= 0 Then
    Debug.Print " returns " & nWkLen & ": " & pkiErrorLookup(nWkLen)
    Exit Sub
End If
ReDim abWK(nWkLen - 1)
nWkLen = CIPHER_KeyWrap(abWK(0), nWkLen, abKeyData(0), nKdLen, abKek(0), nKekLen, PKI_BC_3DES)
Debug.Print "WK=" & cnvHexStrFromBytes(abWK)

This should result in output as follows:

WK=503D75C73630A7B02ECF51B9B29B907749310B77B0B2E054
WK=EAFB901F82B98D37F17497063DE3E5EC7246AB57200AE73EDDDDF24AA403DAFA0C5AE151D1746FA4
WK=E6517B14A383D48AD71D2D80C98894A10C59901D69ABDF77E27A11B50370FAA21AF5231552D2C1F0

The AES key wrap will always give the same result for the same input data, but the triple DES result will be different each time.
