KMIP Server to Client communication model

["Somanchi Trinath-B22327" <B22327@freescale.com>]

Hi All,

 

Please guide me understand this…

 

I have gone through Server to Client Communication requests Notify and Put.

 

As the Spec document says “These operations are used to send Managed Cryptographic objects directly to clients without a specific request from client" Line no: 1439.

 

I have the following doubts:

 

        [1] Why these operations are necessary since , Client requests (for get attributes) are answered by the server.

   

        [2] What happens when client is not available when the server sends the Notify/PUT requests? How will the server know that client is available? 

 

           [3] Will client listen on some port so that server can send Notify/Put requests?

 

Thanks for the updated Use cases document kmip-usecases-1.0-cd-09.doc.

 

In the Use cases document it would be helpful if any use cases is mentioned on how the multiple attribute instances are possible and Notify/Put requests.

 

 

Thanks in advance.
