Technical Summary
This document specifies an XML-based key format for transport and
provisioning of symmetric keys to different types of crypto modules.
For example, One Time Password (OTP) shared secrets or symmetric
cryptographic keys to strong authentication devices. A standard key
transport format enables enterprises to deploy best-of-breed
solutions combining components from different vendors into the same
infrastructure.
