Abstract:
A key management protocol (such as KMIP) is extended to provide an extended credential type to pass information from clients to the server to enable the server to deduce pre-provisioned cryptographic materials for the individual clients. Preferably, KMIP client code communicates device information to a key management server in a value in the headers of KMIP requests that flow to the server. In this manner, KMIP requests are associated with pre-provisioned cryptographic materials for particular devices or device groups.
