Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)

The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is a standard communication method that enables different security systems to securely manage and exchange encryption keys. Think of it as a common language that allows various devices and software to request, store, and control cryptographic keys consistently, ensuring data remains protected across diverse platforms. KMIP enhances security and simplifies key management by providing a standardized way to handle encryption keys, reducing errors and increasing compatibility among different security solutions.
