Release Notes

New Features 3
RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite 4.4 Release Notes
– Password-based key derivation using PBKDF2 with:
• HMAC-SHA-1
• HMAC-SHA-224
• HMAC-SHA-256
• HMAC-SHA-384
• HMAC-SHA-512.
– Digital signature generation and verification:
• Generation and verification using RSA PKCS #1 with SHA-256
• Verification only using RSA with SHA-1.
– A FIPS 140-2 mode feature for the iOS FIPS provider.
Setting this feature sets the FIPS 140-2 mode filter against the library context,
which implements FIPS 140-2 mode and allows only FIPS 140-2-compliant
cryptographic algorithms to be used.
For more information, see FIPS 140-2 Operations, and API Reference
Information > Providers > iOS Provider Objects in the RSA BSAFE Micro
Edition Suite Developers Guide.
• Support for asymmetric keywrap to CMS. Asymmetric key wrapping algorithms
usable in CMS include RSA-KEM-KWS.
• Some samples have been updated to make them compliant with RFC 5280, and to
use data which conforms to library strength requirements.
• For the new features introduced in RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition
(Crypto-C ME), see RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition Release Notes included
with this release.
