Following
up on Jeff’s mail re: OTK… DSKPP may also be of possible interest (OTK
sounds like it might be similar to the 2-pass and 1-pass variants of DSKPP).
DSKPP is essentially a new version of what was
previously called CT-KIP that by default uses the Portable Symmetric Key
Container (PSKC – not to be confused with PKCS J) syntax for describing, for example,
provisioning data related to the keys.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the
on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Provisioning of Symmetric Keys Working Group
of the IETF.
Title
: Dynamic Symmetric Key Provisioning
Protocol (DSKPP)
Author(s) : A. Doherty

DSKPP is a client-server protocol for initialization (and
configuration) of symmetric keys to locally and remotely
accessible
cryptographic modules. The protocol can be run with or
without
private-key capabilities in the cryptographic modules, and with or
without an established public-key infrastructure.
Three variations of the protocol support multiple usage scenarios.
The four-pass (i.e., two round-trip) variant enables key
generation
in near real-time. With the four-pass variant, keys are
mutually
generated by the provisioning server and cryptographic module;
provisioned keys are not transferred over-the-wire or
over-the-air.
Two- and one-pass variants enable secure and efficient download
and
installation of symmetric keys to a cryptographic module in
environments where near real-time communication may not be
possible.
This document builds on information contained in [RFC4758], adding
specific enhancements in response to implementation experience and
liaison requests. It is intended, therefore, that this
document or a
successor version thereto will become the basis for subsequent
progression of a symmetric key provisioning protocol specification
on
the standards track.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the
"mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command
"ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s),
you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader.
Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior,
especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages
(i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check
your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
