Background Since submission of CT-KIP to IETF in 2005, implementations have emerged in the form of software toolkits that create and process protocol messages. These toolkits became core components in certain Web services offering inline token provisioning “Inline token provisioning” refers to cryptographic token initialization and configuration using CT-KIP “Initialization” refers to generating and storing a symmetric key “Configuration” refers to metadata associated with the newly initialized key, which is required so that the relying authentication token can perform its activities As interest grows in CT-KIP, so does the need for a common interface for transporting protocol messages to Web services capable of dynamically provisioning tokens to many types of cryptographic tokens. |
