• Items tracked in Wiki

3.2 Work Items

• Item #3 RNG Flag - Motion: To accept Dieter's proposal What does the RNG Flag mean_V2 and replacing the words "It is not specified in Cryptoki that all mechanisms supported by the token are implemented in hardware in the token, or which mechanisms are implemented in hardware and which in firmware/software in the token, when CKF_HW_SLOT is true" with the words "Implementations should not imply an interpretation about the security properties based on the CKF_HW_SLOT. The flag is intended purely as an indicator that the slot is a physical realisation. How the implementation that offers the physical slot implements mechanisms (software/firmware/hardware) is unrelated to this flag"
