Using key hashes in the Synergis key store

You can use key hashes to verify keys in the Synergis key store against other units, or against the SAM card or key card production tool that produced the keys.

1. Log on to the Synergis™ Cloud Link unit.
2. Click Configuration > Synergis key store .
3. From the Hash list, select the algorithm used by the third-party card tool or Synergis Cloud Link unit:
   • KCV: Key Checksum Value
   • SHA1: Secure Hash Algorithm 1
   • SHA256: 256-bit version of Secure Hash Algorithm 2
   • SHA384: 384-bit version of Secure Hash Algorithm 2
   • SHA512: 512-bit version of Secure Hash Algorithm 2
   In the Hash column, the 6-character (24 bit) key hash is displayed, regardless of the algorithm used.
4. Verify that the key hash in the Synergis key store is the same as the key hash from the other units, the SAM card, or the key card production tool with which you want to compare.
5. Verify that the key hash in the Synergis key store is the same as the key hash from the other units, the SAM card, or the key card production tool with which you want to compare.
