Completed Work
W3C Recommendations have
been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other
W3C groups and interested parties, and are endorsed by the
Director as Web Standards. Learn more about the W3C Recommendation
Track.

[2]This document specifies protocols for
distributing and registering public keys, suitable for use in conjunction
with the W3C Recommendations for XML Signature [XML-SIG] and XML Encryption [XML-Enc]. The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS)
comprises two parts — the XML Key Information Service Specification
(X-KISS) and the XML Key Registration Service Specification (X-KRSS).

The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) [XKMS] aims at providing a PKI independent interface to
key management. XKMS services comprise discovery and validation of
keys as well as support for certain aspects of the key life cycle
management, including registration, reissuance and revocation.
XKMS employs XML Signature [XMLSIG] for
the purpose of providing message security in the form of
authentication and integrity. In addition, XKMS is based on the use
of the <ds:KeyInfo> element as a means of
transporting key information used as templates for the various
operations it specifies.
This technical note addresses some of the issues related to the
use of XKMS in conjunction with PGP [PGP].

The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0)
is a
W3C Recommendation that specifies protocols for distributing and
registering public keys.
The XML Key Management Service (XKMS) Working Group
has defined a Web Service to handle conventional PKI (public-key
infrastructure) functions such as registration, revocation and status, as well
as related functions such as retrieval.
This note provides a sample Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1 description for
an XKMS service. It is intended that XKMS developers use this as a "first
draft" for developing their own version. Conversion to
WSDL 2.0 should be
fairly straightforward, once that specification completes its Last Call.

This document lists the design principles, scope and requirements for XML Key
Management specifications and trust server key management implementations. It
includes requirements as they relate to the key management syntax,
processing, security and coordination with other standards activities.

Obsolete Specifications
These specifications have either been superseded by others,
or have been abandoned. They remain available for archival
purposes, but are not intended to be used.

This document extends the XML Key Management Specification [XKMS] protocol to encompass the bulk registration operations
necessary for interfacing with such systems as smart card management systems.
X-BULK is defined in terms of structures expressed in the XML Schema Language [XML-Schema] and web services description language [WSDL].
