Re: [P1619-3] OASIS Public Review of SKSML v1.0
Thank you for forwarding this message to the forum, Walt.
The OASIS EKMI Technical Committee would be grateful for any comments
received from members of this forum about the key-management protocol.
If you are interested in reviewing a working implementation of an early
version of this protocol, you can get the implementation here:
http://www.strongkey.org.
This implementation does not cover the protocol described in the OASIS
specification entirely, but has enough to give the reviewer an in-depth
view of its capabilities, strengths and weaknesses.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will see some of you at dinner
next Tuesday.
Thanks.

To OASIS members, Public Announce Lists:
The OASIS Enterprise Key Management Infrastructure (EKMI) TC has recently approved the following specification as a Committee Draft and approved the package for public review:
Symmetric Key Services Markup Language (SKSML) Version 1.0
The public review starts today, 24 July 2008, and ends 23 September 2008.
This is an open invitation to comment. We strongly encourage feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of OASIS work. Please feel free to distribute this announcement within your organization and to other appropriate mail lists.

Abstract:
This normative specification defines the first (1.0) version of the Symmetric Key Services Markup Language (SKSML), an XML-based messaging protocol, by which applications executing on computing devices may request and receive symmetric key-management services from centralized key-management servers, securely, over networks. Applications using SKSML are expected to either implement the SKSML protocol, or use a software library - called the Symmetric Key Client Library
(SKCL) - that implements this protocol. SKSML messages are transported within a SOAP layer, protected by a Web Services Security (WSS) header and can be used over standard HTTP securely.
OASIS and the EKMI TC welcome your comments.
