Intermittent -1879048193 errors

We are talking to a Thales HSM device.  We recently made some software changes and suddenly we are getting -1879048193 errors about half of the time we try to use the HSM to decrypt.

 

Can anyone share any thoughts about what I should look into?  Could we be having too many connections possibly?  Closing things too quickly?  Bad config value for our HSM or our cryptware setup, etc?

 

I greatly appreciate any help you can share!

More info:

The line of code causing this large numeric error follows:

otext = _hsmSession.Decrypt(Hex2Byte(cipherText));

 

(I'm checking out the Hex2Byte function just in case)

 

Thanks!

Re: Intermittent -1879048193 errors

error -1879048193 (ox8FFFFFFF) means CKR_INTERNAL_PKCS11_ERROR

it may occur internally to the underlying PKCS#11 module or may occur because the data passed to Decrypt function is wrong.

 

You can try also with the new version that you find in the download section.

 

let's know...
