Subject: Split Key proposal


Here is the latest on split keys for discussion today: I'd like to get an idea of whether it's worth proceeding with the following. It seems to be the most reasonable approach until we have ACLs in KMIP. The benefit of Create Split Key is pushing the algorithmic complexity of key splitting to the server. The benefit of Join Split Key is the ability for a client to combine and use a key without the key being exposed to the client.

Create Split Key: returns the UUIDs of the splits. Client side distribution of splits. No ACLs. Links can be discussed.

Join Split Keys: takes as input a list of UUIDs corresponding to splits and returns a new UUID for the key created by combining the splits. This is a new operation to be considered with or separate from Create Split Key.
