Calculate meta length!

How to calculate meta length in characters:

private static string GetMetaLengthBin(int nDataLength)
{
//Steps to calculate the meta length in characters
//STEP 1: Get the div part. Divide data length by 256
//STEP 2: Get the Modulus part. Take modulus of Data length by 256
//STEP 3: Convert into characters, concat and return. 

string strLengthInChars = string.Empty;
int nPartDiv = nDataLength / 256;
int nPartMod = nDataLength % 256;
char chDiv = Convert.ToChar(nPartDiv);
char chMod = Convert.ToChar(nPartMod);

strLengthInChars = chDiv.ToString() + chMod.ToString();

return strLengthInChars;
}

HSM Simulator

Released on Mar 8th, an excellent resource was forwarded by a friend, is a software based open implementation of HSM, Hardware security module. The HSM simulator is a library that provides almost all of the functionalities offered by Thales HSM. Almost all means, that several commands were not implemented fully (like the PA-Load Formatting Data whose sole implementation task is to respond to the host application) or not at all (like commands that have to do with the IBM verification method).
