Use the Cryptographic_Facility_Control verb to perform the following services:
Reinitialize the CCA application in the Coprocessor.
Set the date and time in the Coprocessor clock.
Reset the Coprocessor Intrusion Latch (see page 2-10)
Reset the Coprocessor Battery-Low Indicator (see page 2-10)
Load or clear the Function Control Vector, which defines limitations on the
cryptographic functions available in the Coprocessor.
Establish the environment identifier (EID), which is a user-defined identifier.
Once set, the EID can only be set again following a CCA reinitialization.
Establish the minimum and maximum number of “cloning information” shares
that are required and that can be used to pass sensitive information from one
Coprocessor to another Coprocessor.
Select which service to perform by specifying the corresponding keyword in the
input rule-array. You can only perform one of these services per verb call.
Restrictions
Use only these characters in an environment identifier (EID): A...Z, a...z, 0...9, and
these additional characters relating to different character symbols in the various
national language character sets as listed below:
The alphabetic and numeric characters should be encoded in the normal character
set for the computing platform that is in use, either ASCII or EBCDIC.
