  Description     : Key Management Interoperability Protocol

 PyKMIP is a Python implementation of the Key Management Interoperability
 Protocol (KMIP) specification, supporting version 1.1 of the KMIP standard.
 The KMIP standard is governed by the Organization for the Advancement of
 Structured Information Standards (OASIS) and specifies a client/server-based
 protocol to perform key, certificate, and secret object management, including
 storage and maintenance operations.
 .
 The PyKMIP library currently provides a KMIP client and server supporting the
 following operations for the KMIP SymmetricKey managed object:
  * Create
  * Register
  * Get
  * Destroy
 .
 Note that KMIP specifies profiles that tailor the standard to specific use
 cases. The KMIP Profile Support section includes several profiles that need to
 be developed for PyKMIP to fully support symmetric key storage and generation
 capabilities. A list of operations necessary for these profiles is included.
 .
 The PyKMIP software-based KMIP server is intended for use only in testing and
 demonstration environments. Note that the PyKMIP server is NOT intended to be
 a substitute for secured, hardware-based KMIP appliances. The PyKMIP client
 should be used for operational purposes only with a hardware-based KMIP
 server. The development of the PyKMIP client and server should take place in
 parallel to facilitate testing of each operation as it is developed.
