late comment against KMIP 1.0

Hello,

 

Sorry, but here's a 
late comment I have after further investigation.

 

I see that for the 
create operation, servers shall set the crypto (key) length when an object is 
created or registered.

And in 9.1.3.2.13 it 
calls for the section 3.6 defined crypto parameters to be optional on a create 
operation request.

This seems to be a 
bit inconsistent in what a client can optionally request.

 

 

Late Emulex 
Comment:

Can we also add an 
optional ability to request a key length to go with the create operation?  
It would make sense to me that clients may want to request both if they 
request crypto parameters.  I'm not saying that the length can't be set by 
the server, but I do not see a way for a client to request a particular length 
if it wanted to. The server could respond indicating what it was willing to set 
for the length. 

 

 

I would like 
this technical comment added to the public review comment 
list.
