Re: [kmip] Groups - Proposal for Adding Key Value Type to Get.doc uploaded

Indra, All,
For clarity, instead of overloading
the Key Value Type field, what about introducing a distinct "Key Compression
Type" field with its own enumeration, both in the Get request and
Key Block object? Also, we should consider renaming "Key Value Type"
to "Key Format Type", to be more precise.

Moreover, if we allow clients to specify
under which format they wish to obtain a key (raw, transparent, etc), then
should the spec state the following too ?

- if a client registers a key in a given
format/compression, the server must be able to provide it (as a response
to Get requests) in at least that same format/compression (that would forbid,
for instance, server implementations that take as input a transparent key
and only store the flattened raw byte format).

- any conversion from the original provided
format/compression (that came through a Register operation from the client,
or from a out-of-band admin operation) to any other format/compression
is optional for the server to support.

Regards,
-Robert
