Welcome to libkmip
==================
libkmip is an ISO C11 implementation of the Key Management Interoperability
Protocol (KMIP), an `OASIS`_ communication standard for the management of
objects stored and maintained by key management systems. KMIP defines how key
management operations and operation data should be encoded and communicated
between client and server applications. Supported operations include creating,
retrieving, and destroying keys. Supported object types include:
* symmetric/asymmetric encryption keys
For more information on KMIP, check out the `OASIS KMIP Technical Committee`_
and the `OASIS KMIP Documentation`_.
