Validation value, qualifier
 
Identification of the type of validation value.
       
   
S
Old Code
 
+
1
=
Unique validation value
Specifies that this is the unique validation value. This code shall be used when the algorithm involved produces a single parameter result (one MAC with DES algorithm, or one digital signature with RSA algorithm, for instance).
S4
   
 
2
=
DSA algorithm r parameter
Specifies that this is the r parameter, resulting of the use of DSA algorithm.
     
 
3
=
DSA algorithm s parameter
Specifies that this is the s parameter, resulting of the use of DSA algorithm.
     
 
4
=
Random number for party A
A random number generated by party A in a key agreement or entity authentication protocol.
     
 
5
=
Random number for party B
A random number generated by party B in a key agreement or entity authentication protocol.
     
 
6
=
Enciphered block under a symmetric algorithm
The result of the encipherment of data under a symmetric algorithm in an entity authentication protocol.
     
 
7
=
Enciphered block under an asymmetric algorithm
The result of the encipherment of data under an asymmetric algorithm in an entity authentication protocol.
     
 
8
=
Key agreement value
The value calculated in a key agreement protocol.
