Hi,

I believe that the XKMS specification mostly failed in it's off-loading 
task.
- Most of the use cases they designed for are theoretical. Definitely a 
specification with real requirements are needed.
- Using XKMS itself is not so light weight making the off-loading task 
kind of mute. The kind of application where XKMS would be applicable 
hardly needs off-loading of processing imho.

Actually my real-world, practical experience with XKMS is limited, since 
it's so rarely used.

Therefore I think Mob SKSML needs real world use cases and input to the 
spec. I have a hope that PayPal (and others) might just have that. For 
cases where the SIM-based security used today for payments is not 
sufficient, or is it something else?

Regards,
Tomas
