Key registration
How to register your key information with a third-party KMS?
Key revocation
How to send a request to the third-party KMS to tell it that you no longer want it to
manage the key on your behalf?
Key recovery
If you forgot your private key, then what to do? XKMS gives some solutions to this.
It describes how to send a request to obtain the private key and what the response looks
like. The specification does not state the rules under which the private key should be
returned. For example, it may be the policy of the service to cancel the old key and issue
a new one after certain period. However, that decision is up to the policy of the individual
provider.
Verisign is one of the primary drivers of XKMS. They have already released a Java
toolkit that supports XKMS development.
