1      Introduction

This document lists the approved errata to the OASIS KMIP v1.4 OASIS Standard. Each one has a number that refers to the issue that triggered the erratum.

As required by the OASIS Technical Committee Process, the approved errata represent changes that are not “substantive”. The changes focus on clarifications to ambiguous or conflicting specification text, where different compliant implementations might have reasonably chosen different interpretations. The intent of the KMIP TC has been to resolve such issues in service of improved interoperability based on subsequent normative works as well as implementation and deployment experience.

In this document, errata change instructions are presented with surrounding context as necessary to make the intent clear. Original specification text is often presented as follows, with problem text highlighted in bold:

This is an original specification sentence. The second sentence needs to be changed, removed, or replaced.

New specification text is typically presented as follows, with new or changed text highlighted in bold:

This is a highly original specification sentence. This is the wholly new content to replace the old second sentence. It runs on and on and on.

In a few cases, text needs only to be struck, in which case the change is shown as follows, with text to be removed both highlighted in bold and struck through:

This is yet another original specification sentence which contains an in appropriately long description.

In addition to this normative document, non-normative “errata composite” documents may be provided that combine the prescribed corrections with the original specification text, illustrating the changes with margin change bars, struck-through original text, and highlighted new text. These documents, if available, will be found at the same location as this approved form..

1.1 IPR Policy

This specification is provided under the RF on RAND Terms Mode of the OASIS IPR Policy, the mode chosen when the Technical Committee was established. For information on whether any patents have been disclosed that may be essential to implementing this specification, and any offers of patent licensing terms, please refer to the Intellectual Property Rights section of the TC’s web page (https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/kmip/ipr.php).

1.2 Terminology

The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] ] and [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

1.3 Normative References

[RFC2119]               Bradner, S., “Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels”, BCP 14, RFC 2119, March 1997. <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt>.

[RFC8174]               Leiba, B., "Ambiguity of Uppercase vs Lowercase in RFC 2119 Key Words", BCP 14, RFC 8174, DOI 10.17487/RFC8174, May 2017, <http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8174>.

2      List of Errata

The Errata items contained within this document are all focused on clarifying lifecycle and operational usage of Opaque Objects.

 

2.1 §2.2, page 37

Remove the text

Managed Objects are objects that are the subjects of key management operations, which are described in Sections 4 and 5. Managed Cryptographic Objects are the subset of Managed Objects that contain cryptographic material (e.g., certificates, keys, and secret data).

 

2.2 §2.2.8, page 40

Add the text

A Managed Object that the key management server is possibly not able to interpret. The context information for this object MAY be stored and retrieved using Custom Attributes.

An Opaque Object MAY be a Managed Cryptographic Object depending on the client context of usage and as such is treated in the same manner as a Managed Cryptographic Object for handling of attributes.

 

2.3 Table 104: State Attribute Rules, page 65

Remove the text

All Cryptographic Objects

 

3      Conformance

These changes will not require any changes to the conformance rules for KMIP Specification v1.4. The Conformance section of the KMIP Specification v1.4 OASIS Standard is unchanged.
