What are the “facsimile keys” in the specification used for?
The facsimile keys are included in the specification as a means to test products under development. They can be used to evaluate that a device properly indexes and generates the secret values without having to maintain the secrecy required for “real” keys. The specification provides a step-by-step walk through of an authentication utilizing the facsimile keys. If the device under development is able to accomplish the same process, and generate the same values, the adopter can be certain that their device is functioning correctly, and will generate the appropriate values once the “real” keys have been loaded. They are to be used strictly for developmental purposes only as they will not authenticate with devices that contain “real” keys, nor will they pass compliance testing.
