The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is a communication protocol that defines message formats for the manipulation of cryptographic keys on a key management server. Keys may be created on a server and then retrieved, possibly wrapped by other keys. Both symmetric and asymmetric keys are supported, including the ability to sign certificates. KMIP also defines messages that can be used to perform cryptographic operation on a server such as encrypt and decrypt.
The KMIP standard is now widely accepted in the industry. At the 2015 RSA Conference 14 vendors demonstrated interoperable clients and servers that are commercially available. The KMIP standard effort is governed by the OASIS standards body. Technical details can also be found on the KMIP page.
With the addition of cryptographic operations, there is considerable overlap between KMIP and the PKCS #11 HSM API. The PKCS #11 standard is now also managed by Oasis, and it is a stated goal of the technical committees to align the two standards.
Here in the dark
I stand before you
Knowing this is my chance to show you my heart
This is the start
This is the start
I have so much to say and I'm hopin'
That your arms are open
Don't turn away, I want you near me
But you have to hear me
Here's where I stand
Here's who I am
Love me, but don't tell me who I have to be
Here's who I am, I'm what you see
You said I had to change and I was tryin'
But my heart was lyin'
I'm not that child any longer
I am stronger
Here's where I stand
Here's who I am
Help me to move on but please don't tell me how
I'm on my way, I'm movin' now
In this life we've come so far
But we're only who we are
With the courage of love
To show us the way
We've got the power to stand up and say
Here's where I stand
Here's where I am
Stand up and be counted, I'm counting on you
If you're with me
We'll make it through
Here's where I stand
Here's who I am
Love me, love me, love me and we'll make it through
Here's where I stand
Baby, baby, baby I'm counting on you
Here's where I stand
Love me, love me, love me and we'll make it through
I'm counting
I'm counting
