PyKMIP is a Python implementation of the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) specification, supporting version 1.1 of the KMIP standard. The library currently provides a KMIP client, which supports the following operations for KMIP SymmetricKey managed objects:

create
register
get
destroy

PyKMIP also provides a software-based KMIP server, which is intended for use in testing and demonstration environments. The server is NOT intended to be a substitute for secured hardware-based KMIP appliances.

Version

This distribution of PyKMIP is version 0.0.1. Future work includes adding support for basic KMIP profiles, including the basic supporting operations.

For more information on KMIP profiles, see the OASIS documentation for KMIP profiles.

Platform

PyKMIP has been tested and runs on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
