New Features and Enhancements
Luna HSM firmware 7.7.1 includes the following new features and enhancements:
Set FIPS Mode by Application Partition
Application partitions on HSMs using Luna HSM firmware 7.7.1 can set FIPS mode independently of other partitions on the same HSM, using the new partition policy 43: Allow Non-FIPS Algorithms. With HSM policy 12 set to ON, FIPS mode is still enforced on all partitions on the HSM.
Refer to HSM Capabilities and Policies and Partition Capabilities and Policies.
Valid Update Paths
You can update the Luna HSM firmware to version 7.7.1 from the following previous versions:
>7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.0.3, 7.1.0, 7.2.0, 7.3.0, 7.3.3, 7.4.0, 7.4.1, 7.4.2, 7.7.0
Advisory Notes
This section highlights important issues you should be aware of before deploying HSM firmware 7.7.1.
Special Considerations for Luna HSM Firmware 7.7.0 and Newer
Luna HSM Firmware 7.7.0 introduces new capabilities, features, and other significant changes that affect the operation of the HSM. Due to some of these changes, you must be aware of some special considerations before updating to Luna HSM Firmware 7.7.0 or newer. For more information, refer to Special Considerations for Luna HSM Firmware 7.7.0 and Newer before proceeding with the update.
FIPS Restrictions in Luna HSM Firmware 7.7.0 and Newer
New restrictions have been added to some mechanisms when the HSM is in FIPS mode (HSM policy 12: Allow non-FIPS Algorithms set to OFF), to comply with FIPS SP800-131a Rev2 published in March 2019.
|
The following mechanisms are not permitted to wrap objects in FIPS mode (unwrap operations are permitted): |
The following mechanisms are not permitted to sign data in FIPS mode (verify operations are permitted): |
RSA Keygen Mechanism Remapping on Luna 7.7.1 or Newer Partitions Requires Minimum Luna HSM Client 10.4.0
Luna HSM Firmware 7.7.1 or newer partitions that have been individually set to FIPS mode using the new partition policy 43 require Luna HSM Client 10.4.0 or newer to automatically remap older RSA mechanisms as described in Mechanism Remap for FIPS Compliance.
