  • 1.  Convert AES Key Type

    Posted Mon August 14, 2023 12:25 PM

    Hi there,

    Is there any way to convert an AES key from one type to another, for example from CIPHER to DKYGENKY? For DES tokens it's possible to perform this kind of change using control vector translate, NOCV KEK or exporting/importing, but I couldn't find a similar behavior for AES tokens.

    Thanks

    Fernando

    Hi Fernando -

    There is no way to change the key type of an AES key.  Sorry!
