Currently ICSF has support for ASC X9 TR-31 2010 (Interoperable Secure Key 
Exchange Key Block Specification for Symmetric Algorithms) .  However ICSF does 
not currently support for ASC X9 TR-34 2012 (Interoperable Method for 
Distribution of Symmetric Keys using Asymmetric Techniques: Part 1 - Using 
Factoring-Based Public Key Cryptography Unilateral Key Transport), which is a 
"interoperable method" to distribute TR-31 Key Block Protection Keys (among 
other things, I'm sure).

NCR ATM hardware (specifically their "Encrypting PIN Pads") and software (Aptra 
Edge V7) support both TR-31 for symmetric exchanging of "bundling" of keys 
(TR-31 key blocks) and TR-34 for distribution of symmetric keys (TR-31 Key 
Block Protection Key) using RSA asymmetric encryption with SHA-256 Digital 
Signatures.  TR-34 is the only method supported by NCR ATMs to comply with PCI 
3 (Payment Card Industry) requirements that SHA-1 no longer be used.

If you are an NCR ATM customer, or even just someone who wants IBM to support 
the latest cryptographic standards, please vote for my RFE requesting TR-34 
support:
