SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_CRYPTO_UNKNOWN_HASHID

What the security processor has established

SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_CRYPTO_UNKNOWN_HASHID (0xC004D207) is emitted by cryptographic processing inside the security processor. It marks a specific point inside the provider, algorithm, key, hash, signature and block-processing stage used to authenticate protected licensing data: the requested hash algorithm identifier is not recognized by the selected provider.

This distinction matters because hash lookup fails before a digest can be calculated or compared. A later “not licensed” state should not replace the first exact HRESULT in logs.

State to compare on both sides of the failure

  • provider and algorithm identifiers
  • key type and key-material length
  • cipher mode, block size and padding mode
  • hash state and digest length
  • signature format, length and verification key

Where it sits in the licensing pipeline

Algorithm selection, key lookup, block formatting and signature verification are independent boundaries; a failure in one does not prove corruption at the others. To verify this, record hash ID, provider ID, expected digest length and policy source.

A reproducible troubleshooting path

  1. Use read-only inspection first: record hash ID, provider ID, expected digest length and policy source.

Safe recovery direction

Use a supported hash identifier consistent with the signed object and platform policy.

Representative case: A migrated policy contains a hash ID unsupported by the current security processor.

Do not confuse it with these nearby results

ResultDifferent condition
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_CRYPTO_UNKNOWN_ATTRIBUTEIDCompared with this result, a cryptographic object references an attribute identifier not defined by the provider contract.
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_CRYPTO_UNKNOWN_KEYIDCompared with this result, the requested cryptographic key type or key identifier is unknown to the selected provider.
SL_REMAPPING_SP_PUB_CRYPTO_HASH_FINALIZEDCompared with it, additional data was supplied after the hash object had already been finalized.

Actions that usually destroy useful evidence

  • Do not publish keys, decrypted license blobs or complete protected payloads in a support ticket.
  • Do not disable signature or padding validation to make the operation continue.
