P6R’s KMIP Verification Suite (KVS)

P6R is introducing the new product KMIP Verification Suite (KVS). Due to customer interest we have taken our KMIP test harness, which we have used to develop our KMIP Client product (SKC) and have used during several OASIS KMIP Interop events, and are making it available to vendors to test their KMIP server products. KVS implements all defined OASIS KMIP test cases for protocol versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.0, and 2.1. KVS is implemented with P6R’s Secure KMIP Client (SKC) to generate proper KMIP messages in TTLV, JSON, XML, and TTLV over HTTPS. SKC is also used to parse the server’s response while KVS matches the server’s response to what is expected as defined by the OASIS test cases.

KVS supports the following OASIS defined KMIP defined tests:
KMIP Test Cases Version 1.0, (defined in several of the documents below such as http://docs.oasis-open.org/kmip/testcases/v1.2/kmip-testcases-v1.2.html)

KMIP Test Cases Version 1.1, http://docs.oasis-open.org/kmip/testcases/v1.1/kmip-testcases-v1.1.html

KMIP Test Cases Version 1.2, http://docs.oasis-open.org/kmip/testcases/v1.2/kmip-testcases-v1.2.html

KMIP Test Cases Version 1.3, http://docs.oasis-open.org/kmip/testcases/v1.3/kmip-testcases-v1.3.html

KMIP Test Cases Version 1.4, http://docs.oasis-open.org/kmip/testcases/v1.4/cn01/kmip-testcases-v1.4-cn01.html

KMIP Test Cases Version 2.0, http://docs.oasis-open.org/kmip/kmip-testcases/v2.0/cn01/kmip-testcases-v2.0-cn01.html

KMIP Test Cases Version 2.1

1. Cryptsoft KMIP C Server SDK
2. Cryptsoft KMIP Java Server SDK
3. Dell KMIP Server
4. Fornetix Key Orchestration Server
5. Micro Focus ESKM Server (formerly HPE)
