FW 2.0.2 has been released to all production environments. This release resolves an issue that prevented cloning objects between two Luna Cloud HSM partitions when using the 10.5 client.

The new firmware versions based on region and FIPS mode are as follows: 

• NA FIPS - 2.0.2
• NA non-FIPS - 2.0.2
• EU FIPS - 2.0.2
• EU non-FIPS - 2.0.2

FW 2.0.2 includes the following bug fixes:

• LCH-489 - CPv4 Cloning command permissions incorrect for pre-FW-2.0 partitions.
• DPS-10104 - Luna Cloud HSM Partition Cloning Fails with the 10.5 Client

  Cloning keys between two Luna Cloud HSM partitions fails when using the 10.5 client. There are currently two possible workaround scenarios.
  -> Workaround #1 - If there is a Luna SA7 (or any other separate device to use as an intermediary for the cloning) then clone to and from that device.

  -> Workaround #2 - If there is no separate device then completely uninstall the 10.5 client and install the 10.4 client from scratch. For this option please raise a support ticket to the Thales Customer Support portal to request to join the 2 partitions together as the 10.4 client does not support dynamic partition loading.

When Max Session Objects goes over 100 the user will now receive the following error message: CKR_MAX_OBJECT_COUNT_EXCEEDED.

Previously there was no session object limit set therefore there was no message sent to the user.

FW 2.0 has now been FIPS approved. 

The NIST Certificate verifying that FW 2.0 is now FIPS approved can be found in this Cryptographic Module Validation Program link.

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

• NA FIPS - 2.0
• NA non-FIPS - 2.0.1
• EU FIPS - 2.0
• EU non-FIPS - 2.0.1 

In addition to the new releases, FW 2.0.1 also includes the following bug fixes:

• LGX-4120 - Ed25519 was failing with CKR_ECC_UNKNOWN_CURVE. Ed25519 no longer fails with CKR_ECC_UNKNOWN_CURVE.
• LKX-9788 - The DES3-CBC unwrapping mechanism was failing. DES3-CBC no longer fails during unwrapping.

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.

In UC 10.4, a bug was found when using CKLog in Linux with a Luna Cloud HSM client package. The output was spammed with "LunaNamedSystemMutex: open() failed: No such file or directory".

In the UC 10.5 client, the new mutex folder will use the /lock directory which solves this issue.

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.

As of UC 10.5, the configuration of multiple users will be supported which allows multiple partition slots to be accessed from a single client instance. This allows customers to add multiple UserID's (a combination of unique AuthTokenClientID, AuthTokenClientSecret, AuthTokenConfigURI) without the need to restart the application after the addition of a new UserID. This will enable a service provider to configure multiple UserID's without impacting the service any of the other users in the same UC instance.

The ability to load multiple partitions to the same UserID without impacting service to other users will also be supported. If an attempt is made to add the same partition ID to a different user that will be ignored and a Warning log will be generated.
