Abstract
Aspects of the invention include providing a clear key with an attribute that controls usage of the clear key. The clear key includes key data in at least a first 8-byte section and second and third 8-byte sections and a wrapping key for wrapping the clear key. The computer-implemented method further includes chaining the first, second and third 8-byte sections together with zeroes for those 8-byte sections that are unpopulated into chained key data, deriving encryption and authentication keys from the wrapping key, calculating an authentication code over the clear key and the attribute using the authentication key, executing encryption over the chained key data using the encryption key to generated encrypted chained key data and adding the authentication code, the attribute and the encrypted chained key data to form a key block.
