Null module key: K
MWK
The null module key is used to create Logical Tokens that can be loaded onto any
Module (e.g. used when initializing a Security World). The null module key is a
symmetric key with a well-known hash and value. As its value is well known, the null
module key cannot be used to protect the integrity or confidentiality of any data. It is
not possible to create key blobs protected by the null module key. It is possible to
create a Logical Token protected by the null module key, but any key (protected by
this Logical Token) must have the ACL entry
Operator Card Set (OCS)
Part of the Security World architecture, an Operator Card Set (OCS) is a set of smart
cards containing shares of the logical tokens that is used to control access to
application keys within a Security World. OCSs are protected using the Security
World key, and therefore they cannot be used outside the Security World.

ACS, as well as persistent and non-persistent OCS cards, and allows all smart card
operations to be carried out, apart from loading feature certificates.

elsewhere from a list provided by the Remote Administration Service, and associate a
