The firmware versions for Luna Cloud HSM Services operating in NA and EU non-FIPS environments have been updated. The current firmware version based on region and FIPS mode are as follows:

• NA FIPS - 1.5
• NA non-FIPS - 2.0
• EU FIPS - 1.5
• EU non-FIPS - 2.0 

Universal Cloning

Universal Cloning (CPv4) is now a supported feature when combining UC 10.5.0 and Firmware 2.0. Universal Cloning can be used for key migration to any trusted Thales HSMs that also support the Universal Cloning protocol.

In order to use the Universal Cloning feature, the following must be true:

• you have a Luna Client at version UC 10.5.0 or newer
• you have Firmware at version 2.0 or newer
• the source partition's security policy allows cloning of private and secret keys

NOTE: You can only clone between initialized partitions, and they must have the same cloning domain (secret), which is provided at the time of initialization.

More info can be found here: Universal Cloning.

Version 10.5 of the HSM client is now available for download from Thales Data Protection on Demand for Luna Cloud HSM services. This client supports hybrid usage of both Luna Cloud HSM services and the Luna HSM product line, as detailed in the Luna Cloud HSM Client User Guide. See Upgrade Client for more information about upgrading your client.

Universal Cloning

Universal Cloning (CPv4) will be a supported feature in UC 10.5.0 but only when used with Firmware 2.0. Universal Cloning can be used for key migration to any trusted Thales HSMs that also support the Universal Cloning protocol.

For more information about client features and enhancements and client advisory notes see 10.5 Client Customer Release Notes. See Known and Resolved Issues for more information about existing problems and available workarounds.

UC 10.5.0 will be available in production by 09/09/2022.

A new certificate issuer will be used in the European data center for Luna Cloud HSM clients as of August 16th.

A knowledge base article with a full description of the change is available here. The article contains important information on mandatory changes for users on 10.0 or 10.1 client versions.

This change introduces a new endpoint for validating the certificate status. Please ensure that operating systems hosting the client are able to validate the server certificate status (OCSP/CRL) using port 80.

Ensure that these certificate revocation lists (CRLs) are accessible from the client machine prior to the planned change in August 2022 to guarantee continuity of service.

Current CRL: http://crl.godaddy.com/gdig2s1-3235.crl
New CRL: http://crl.sectigo.com/SectigoRSAOrganizationValidationSecureServerCA.crl
Platform CRL: http://crl3.digicert.com/ssca-sha2-g7.crl

Thales Data Protection on Demand now collects audit logs for Luna Cloud HSM Services using client version 10.2 and newer. Users can generate audit log files and retrieve signed URLs for access to the audit log files using the Audit Query API /v1/audit-log-exports endpoint. Audit logs provide a record of the outcome of an action by an actor on a resource. 

For more information about Audit Logging see About the Audit Log API. 

The servicePlan field is being made mandatory for service creation when using the API, for example when using POST/service_instances or POST/services.

If you use the API to provision services, you will need to pass a value matching one of the plans listed in the Open Service Broker catalog. For Luna Cloud HSM services, you must pass "single_hsm". Failure to pass a valid plan will result in a 400 error.

See the Thales Documentation Portal for more information about available endpoints and fields.

The firmware versions for Luna Cloud HSM Services operating in EU environments have been updated. The current firmware version based on region and FIPS mode are as follows:

• NA FIPS - 1.4.0
• NA non-FIPS - 1.4.2

• EU non-FIPS - 1.6 

FW 1.5 includes improvements to the Point to Point encryption service. FW 1.5 also includes the following bug fixes:

• SH-4366 - The firmware can create but not import public+sensitive keys. You must specify both CKA_PRIVATE=1 and CKA_SENSITIVE=1 Key Attributes for all Generated, Derived and Unwrapped keys
• SH-5322 - The firmware crashes when cancelling a multi-part operation. The firmware no longer crashes when cancelling a multi-part operation.
• SH-5595 - Deriving x9.42 DH2 returns CKR_OBJECT_HANDLE_INVALID. Deriving x9.42 DH2 no longer returns CKR_OBJECT_HANDLE_INVALID

FW 1.6 includes all of the improvements from FW1.5 and additional enhancements.

Version 10.4.1 of the Luna HSM client is now available for download from the Thales Customer Support Portal.  This client supports hybrid usage of both Luna Cloud HSM services and the Luna HSM product line, as detailed in the Luna Cloud HSM Client User Guide.

• Download Luna HSM Client 10.4.1 for Windows
• Download Luna HSM Client 10.4.1 for Linux

Added

• Luna HSM Client 10.4.1 allows you to initialize a Luna Cloud HSM service using a domain secret imported from a red PED key. This allows you to clone objects between PED-authenticated Luna HSM partitions and Luna Cloud HSM enabling cloud backups and improving availability by adding Luna Cloud HSM to your HA groups. See Initializing a Luna Cloud HSM Service for more information.
