Repr:an..3
Desc:Specification of the type of parameter value.
This table also occurs in the following versions of this standard:
40000, 40001, 40002, 40003, 40004, 40005, 40006, 40007, 40100, 40101, 40102

1Initialisation value, cleartext
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as an unencrypted initialisation value.
2Initialisation value, encrypted under a symmetric key
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as an initialisation value which is encrypted under the symmetric data key.
3Initialisation value, encrypted under a public key
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as an initialisation value encrypted under the public key of the receiving party.
4Initialisation value, format mutually agreed
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as an initialisation value in a format agreed between the two parties.
5Symmetric key, encrypted under a symmetric key
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as a symmetric key which is encrypted with a previously agreed algorithm under a previously exchanged symmetric key.
6Symmetric key, encrypted under a public key
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as a symmetric key encrypted under the public key of the receiving party.
7Symmetric key, signed and encrypted
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as a symmetric key signed under the sender's secret key, then encrypted under the receiver's public key.
8Symmetric key encrypted under an asymmetric key common to the sender and the receiver
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as a symmetric key encrypted under an asymmetric key common to the sender and the receiver (use of Diffie and Hellmann scheme, for instance).
9Symmetric key name
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as the name of a symmetric key. This may be used in the case where a key relationship has already been established between the sender and receiver.
10Key encrypting key name
Identifies the parameter value as the name of a key encrypting key.
11Symmetric key, format mutually agreed
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as a symmetric key in a format agreed between the two parties.
12Modulus
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as the modulus of a public key which is to be used according to the function defined by the use of algorithm.
13Exponent
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as the exponent of a public key which is to be used according to the function defined by the use of algorithm.
14Modulus length
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as the length of the modulus (in bits) of the public key used in the algorithm. The length is independent of whatever filtering function may be in use.
15Generic parameter 1

29Initial value for CRC calculation
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as the initial value for the CRC calculation.
30Initial directory tree
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as the initial directory tree for the data compression algorithm specified.
31Integrity value offset
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as the offset within the compressed text where the integrity value is located.
33Generator
Identifies the algorithm parameter value as the generator for a secret key agreement mechanism.
34
Symmetric key activation date/time
Identifies the activation date/time of a symmetric key. The date/timke format shall be CCYYMMDDHHMMSS.
ZZZMutually agreed
Self explanatory.
