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.

Cryptographic material should be logged by identifier, length, hash or thumbprint rather than by exporting secret keys or plaintext protected data.

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  • Do not publish keys, decrypted license blobs or complete protected payloads in a support ticket.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.
