The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (
KMIP) defines the
communication between a Key Lifecycle Management System (KLMS) and its clients. Some companies have been working
with proprietary implementations of KMIP in different programming languages for a while, but up until now, no
open-source solution existed. KMIP4J is an open-source implementation of KMIP 1.0 in Java. This software was
developed by Stefanie Meile and Michael Guster at the University of Applied Sciences
NTB - Interstaatliche Hochschule für Technik Buchs.
