Fields | Description |
Name | Name of the KMS. |
Type | Type of KMS (BISS2). |
Private Key (BISS2-CA) | This is an autogenerated configuration by MCM, hence, please keep this field empty. When creating a new “BISS2-CA KMS”, the MCM generates a public/private key pair. The public key should be copied and sent to the sender. (The private key is not visible on the GUI/API - can not be read. it is exported to the XML - but encrypted. This keeps it over a software upgrade) On the channel config, it should be detected during the scan as “BISS-2” and the relevant KMS should be configured to the channel. |
Public Key (BISS2-CA) | This is an autogenerated configuration by MCM, hence, please keep this field empty. When creating a new “BISS2-CA KMS”, the MCM generates a public/private key pair. The public key should be copied and sent to the sender. |
Session Key (BISS2-E) | BISS-2-E: When creating a new “BISS KMS” - paste the static SK (session key) - 32 char long hex value. BISS-2-1: Paste the 16 char constant key to the channel configuration key field. |
