Members of the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) TC create and manage technical content in this TC GitHub repository ( https://github.com/oasis-tcs/kmip ) as part of the TC's chartered work (i.e., the program of work and deliverables described in its charter).
OASIS TC GitHub repositories, as described in GitHub Repositories for OASIS TC Members' Chartered Work, are governed by the OASIS TC Process, IPR Policy, and other policies, similar to TC Wikis, TC JIRA issues tracking instances, TC SVN/Subversion repositories, etc. While they make use of public GitHub repositories, these TC GitHub repositories are distinct from OASIS Open Repositories, which are used for development of open source licensed content.
The purpose of this repository is to support development and maintenance of Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) TC work products, consisting of: (a) Test Cases and (b) Profile Test Cases.
Members of the OASIS KMIP TC are working to define a single, comprehensive protocol for communication between encryption systems and a broad range of new and legacy enterprise applications, including email, databases, and storage devices. By removing redundant, incompatible key management processes, KMIP provides better data security while at the same time reducing expenditures on multiple products.
As stated in this repository's CONTRIBUTING file, contributors to this repository are expected to be Members of the OASIS KMIP TC, for any substantive change requests. Anyone wishing to contribute to this GitHub project and participate in the TC's technical activity is invited to join as an OASIS TC Member. Public feedback is also accepted, subject to the terms of the OASIS Feedback License.
