By replacing redundant, incompatible key management protocols, KMIP provides better data security while at the same time reducing expenditures on multiple products. KMIP v1.3 enhances the KMIP v1.2 standard by: - defining new functionality in the protocol to improve interoperability; - defining additional Test Cases for verifying and validating the new functionality; - providing additional information in the KMIP Usage Guide to assist in effective implementation of KMIP in key management clients and servers; and - defining new profiles for establishing KMIP-compliant implementations. The KMIP Specification describes the protocol used for the communication between clients and servers to perform management operations on objects stored and maintained by a key management system. This includes symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic keys, digital certificates, and templates used to simplify the creation of objects and control their use. The KMIP Profiles provide a selected set of base level conformance profiles and authentication suites; additional KMIP Profiles define specific sets of KMIP functionality for conformance purposes. 3 Statements of Use for each were received from P6R Inc., Cryptsoft Pty Ltd, and Fornetix [2].
