RSA/EMC have announced that they will move PKCS #11 into
OASIS as a new technical committee.
Cryptsoft supports this move and will be participating in the
formation of the new technical committee.
PKCS#11 information remains available at
https://www.cryptsoft.com/pkcs11doc/
The 60-day public review starts 11 October 2012 and ends
10 December 2012.
This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits
feedback from potential users, developers and others,
whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving
the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
The documents are available at
https://www.oasis-open.org/news/announcements/60-day-public-review-for-kmip-specification-version-1-1-cos01
This is the final step before KMIP 1.1 is submitted to the
OASIS member companies for vote on acceptance as an OASIS
specification.
Aberdeen's analysis
of companies with current encryption initiatives involving enterprise
key management found that the combined difference in costs avoided
plus costs saved provided an advantage of nearly $100 per end-user per
year over those that did not, in addition to the ability to support
encryption in greater diversity and at higher scale. The Key Management
Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is seen to be an important enabling
technology for enterprise key management that merits greater attention
from enterprise buyers and evaluators.
Vendors including Cryptsoft, IBM, NetApp, QuintessenceLabs,
and Thales e-Security are participating in the next
round of interoperability testing of the Key Management
Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)
The OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) TC members have recently approved two Committee Specification Drafts (CSD) and two Committee Note Drafts (CND) and submitted these drafts for 15-day public review

"OASIS KMIP provides the blueprint - 2010 saw KMIP products in development, 2011 brought products from the early adopters and in 2012 deployed interoperability via KMIP is now a reality. As one of the first vendors supporting both KMIP v1.0 and v1.1, Cryptsoft is committed to enabling industry adoption of KMIP. Our SDKs and adaptors enable our clients to both embrace KMIP and support existing non-KMIP solutions." -- Tim Hudson, Chief Technical Officer (Cryptsoft)
Implementations from six companies including Cryptsoft,
IBM,
NetApp,
QuintessenceLabs,
SafeNet, and
Thales
will be featured at the
RSA Conference
