In Slide 7, last bullet you suggest adding new operations for Suspend/Re-activate and associated date attributes

Instead of adding new operations one could leverage the Revoke operation to support this – We deferred support of the certificateHold and removeFromCRL revocation reasons from current KMIP versions mainly because we didn’t see folks using KMIP to support the suspending/unsuspending of public key certificates. But SP800-130 support could be used as justification for adding the certificateHold and removeFromCRL options to the revocation reason enumerations.

If we leverage the Revoke operation in this way you could also leverage the existing Compromise Date to handle when the key was Suspended. This assume folks are not bothered by using an attribute named ‘compromise’ for something which is ‘suspended’. A new attribute to track when the key was reactivated would still need to be added – assuming you don’t want to overload Activation Date.

Submitter's message
Good morning/evening KMIP TC!

KMIP-SP800-130-152.pdf provides an overview of how NIST guidelines for Cryptographic Key Management Systems impact KMIP. Also this presentation provides options for further alignment of KMIP to NIST standards. Note there is a corresponding spreadsheet - NIST-KMIP CR.xlsx that documents the relationship between the collective set of standards.

Thanks!

Chuck
