UbiQPKGen™
UbiQPKGen™ is a utility designed to provide a costeffective
way to generate large volumes of public key
pairs. The primary purpose of UbIQPKGen™ is to
generate and warehouse a number of key pairs before
they are needed for other operations. For example, the
dynamic data authentication (DDA) configuration for
VSDC and M/Chip requires a key pair to be generated
for each card issued.
Generating these keys at the time of personalization,
or even at the time of data preparation, can adversely
affect the efficiency of operations. However, the
UbiQPKGen™ allows you to generate keys in advance
and securely warehouse them until they are consumed
– consumption occurs only when the data
preparation personalization file is created.
The UbiQPKGen™ utility may co-reside in the same
server as UbiQDataPrep™ and run in attended mode
during low utilization hours, or may operate
independently.
The design of UbiQPKGen™ provides for
simultaneous access to multiple (1 to 4) HSM boards
physically installed in a single server in order to
optimize the rate of key pair generation on that server
