Abstract:
This document is intended to complement the Key Management Interoperability
Protocol Specification by providing guidance on how to implement KMIP most
effectively to ensure interoperability and to address key management usage
scenarios.

KMIP v1.2 enhances the KMIP v1.1 standard (established in February 2013) by

1) defining new functionality in the protocol to improve
interoperability;

2) defining additional Test Cases for verifying and validating the
new
functionality;

3) providing additional information in the KMIP Usage Guide to assist
in
effective implementation of KMIP in key management clients and servers; and

4) defining new profiles for establishing KMIP-compliant
implementations.

The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is a single,
comprehensive
protocol for communication between clients that request any of a wide range
of
encryption keys and servers that store and manage those keys. By replacing
redundant, incompatible key management protocols, KMIP provides better data
security while at the same time reducing expenditures on multiple products.
