KMIP 1.2 interop

[Tim Hudson <tjh@cryptsoft.com>]

Based on feedback to date, we are now targeting the next round of
interop for KMIP 1.2 in preparation for statements of use. The formal
interop is tentatively scheduled for July 15th through to July 26th (the
usual two week period).

For those vendors who have not already responded and for any non-KMIP TC
members who are looking at participating and making a statement of use
under the revised TC process rules, please respond either privately or
on-list at your discretion so we can commence planning the interop-tech
calls.

Each vendor needs to indicate which areas of capability are likely to be
ready for interop testing in the June/July time frame around any of the
functionality areas for which tests are pending and for any of the new
profiles for which tests have already been defined.

The areas of new functionality for KMIP 1.2 are:
A1) ECC Curves
A2) Meta-Data Only
A3) Alternative Name
A4) PGP Key
A5) Cryptographic Services
A6) Attestation
A7) Create and Join Split Key

The profiles and test cases for KMIP 1.2 are:

T0) KMIP Test Cases (document pending update with tests for A1-A4,A6-A7)

P1) KMIP Profiles
    P1a) Baseline KMIP Client
