Subject: Discussion on Conformance
I believe there is a need for the ability to know if a server is compliant to KMIP for the type of key exchange needed. If my client needs to interact for symmetric keys, I need to know the server is KMIP compliant for symmetric key functions. So, from a conformance clause, there needs to be a way to indicate what constitutes the minimum set of functions the server must support in order to make the claim of "conformant". Likewise, we need a profile for asymmetric key conformance. So those clients needing an asymmetric key server know if it is compliant. There may be other subsets that make sense as a minimum conformance profile. The ability for a server to claim conformance for the superset is always available. And, the server implementation could claim conformance for each of the minimum profiles if it had each.
