Abstract

This document specifies the Secure Key Integration Protocol (SKIP), a two-party protocol that allows a client to securely obtain a key from an independent Key Provider. SKIP enables network and security operators to provide quantum-resistant keys suitable for use with quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms such as AES-256. It can also be used to provide an additional layer of security to an already quantum-resistant secure channel protocol for a defense-in-depth strategy, and/or enforce key management policies.
