# List of Used Keys

The following keys are used in the PowerAuth cryptography scheme.

## Application Scoped Keys

| name | created as | purpose |
|-----------------------------|-------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `KEY_SERVER_MASTER_PRIVATE` | ECDH - private key | Embedded on server, used to assure authenticity of data during the transfer from server to client during application scoped use-cases (i.e., device activation). |
| `KEY_SERVER_MASTER_PUBLIC` | ECDH - public key | Embedded in client app, used to verify authenticity of data while transferring from server to client during application scoped use-cases (i.e., device activation). |
| `APP_KEY` | Application version key | Shared random ID between the server and client app, used to identify specific application version. The value travels in plain form over HTTPS channel. |
| `APP_SECRET` | Application version secret | Shared random secret key between the server and client app, used to authenticate specific application version. Used in digest and MAC values. |
| `KEY_ENC_TEMPORARY` | Temporary encryption key pair | Temporary encryption key pair used in end-to-end encryption in application scope. The key pair enhances security by ensuring forward secrecy for encrypted data. |

## Activation Scoped Keys

| name | created as | purpose |
|----------------------------|------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `KEY_DEVICE_PRIVATE` | ECDH - private key | Generated on client to allow construction of `KEY_MASTER_SECRET`. |
| `KEY_DEVICE_PUBLIC` | ECDH - public key | Generated on client to allow construction of `KEY_MASTER_SECRET`. |
| `KEY_SERVER_PRIVATE` | ECDH - private key | Generated on server to allow construction of `KEY_MASTER_SECRET`. |
| `KEY_SERVER_PUBLIC` | ECDH - public key | Generated on server to allow construction of `KEY_MASTER_SECRET`. |
| `KEY_MASTER_SECRET` | ECDH - pre-shared | A key deduced using ECDH derivation, `KEY_MASTER_SECRET = ECDH.phase(KEY_DEVICE_PRIVATE, KEY_SERVER_PUBLIC) = ECDH.phase(KEY_SERVER_PRIVATE, KEY_DEVICE_PUBLIC)` and then reduced with `ByteUtils.convert32Bto16B()`. |
| `KEY_SIGNATURE_POSSESSION` | KDF derived key from `KEY_MASTER_SECRET` | A signing key associated with the possession, factor deduced using KDF derivation with `INDEX = 1`, `KEY_SIGNATURE_POSSESSION = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 1)`, used for subsequent request signing. |
| `KEY_SIGNATURE_KNOWLEDGE` | KDF derived key from `KEY_MASTER_SECRET` | A key associated with the knowledge factor, deduced using KDF derivation with `INDEX = 2`, `KEY_SIGNATURE_KNOWLEDGE = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 2)`, used for subsequent request signing. |
| `KEY_SIGNATURE_BIOMETRY` | KDF derived key from `KEY_MASTER_SECRET` | A key associated with the biometry factor, deduced using KDF derivation with `INDEX = 3`, `KEY_SIGNATURE_BIOMETRY = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 3)`, used for subsequent request signing. |
| `KEY_TRANSPORT` | KDF derived key from `KEY_MASTER_SECRET` | A key deduced using KDF derivation with `INDEX = 1000`, `KEY_TRANSPORT = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 1000)`, used for encrypted data transport. This key is used as master transport key for end-to-end encryption key derivation. |
| `KEY_ENCRYPTION_VAULT` | KDF derived key from `KEY_MASTER_SECRET` | A key deduced using KDF derivation with `INDEX = 2000`, `KEY_ENCRYPTION_VAULT = KDF.derive(KEY_MASTER_SECRET, 2000)`, used for encrypting a vault that stores the secret data, such as `KEY_DEVICE_PRIVATE`. |
| `KEY_TRANSPORT_IV` | KDF derived key from `KEY_TRANSPORT` | A key deduced using KDF derivation with `INDEX = 3000`, `KEY_ENCRYPTION_IV = KDF.derive(KEY_TRANSPORT, 3000)`, used for derivation of initial vector, that encrypts activation status blob. |
| `KEY_TRANSPORT_CTR` | KDF derived key from `KEY_TRANSPORT` | A key deduced using KDF derivation with `INDEX = 4000`, `KEY_TRANSPORT_CTR = KDF.derive(KEY_TRANSPORT, 4000)`, used for computing hash from current value of hash-based counter. |
| `KEY_ENC_TEMPORARY` | Temporary encryption key pair | Temporary encryption key pair used in end-to-end encryption in activation scope. This key pair enhances security by ensuring forward secrecy for encrypted data. |
