Proposals for change require support - and I see no support being expressed for this - as silence should never be taken as support - which is why I too have been asking that others speak up if they do indeed support the concept (and private notes off list don't count in doing this - although the notes from those who have privately expressed they don't support this are appreciated they don't help you). The change is a radical shift in how KMIP approaches this item conceptually - and it would be a fundamental shift after three years of the specification being out there - and the two years prior to the specification moving into OASIS - and driven not by any real world stated interoperability issue. I think we at Cryptsoft are in a much better position to be able to determine the actual impact of what proposed changes would have than most others in the KMIP TC given our depth of implementations and deployment of KMIP technology. How you judge that opinion and whether you value that opinion or not is entirely up to you. You raised this as a major security issue that absolutely must be dealt with - which it simply isn't - and to now suggest that just adding some optional text in the usage guide is the solution is something I don't follow the logic here. However I do also agree that this topic should remain left as-is until others speak up in support of it to indicate there is at least enough support to warrant discussing it further. Tim. |
