SKIPJACK-CFB16

SKIPJACK-CFB16, denoted CKM_SKIPJACK_CFB16, is a mechanism for single- and multiple-part encryption and decryption with SKIPJACK in 16-bit cipher feedback mode as defined in FIPS PUB 185.

It has a parameter, a 24-byte initialization vector. During an encryption operation, this IV is set to some value generated by the token"in other words, the application cannot specify a particular IV when encrypting. It can, of course, specify a particular IV when decrypting.

Constraints on key types and the length of data are summarized in the following table:
