[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-11338) KMIP Integration for Hadoop KMS

Jerry Chen created HADOOP-11338:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: KMIP Integration for Hadoop KMS
                 Key: HADOOP-11338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11338
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: kms
    Affects Versions: trunk-win
            Reporter: Jerry Chen
            Assignee: Jerry Chen


The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is a communication protocol between key management systems and encryption systems. The KMIP standard effort is governed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).

A lot of Key management server implementations provided support of KMIP protocol, thus opening the door for Hadoop KMS to use these key management backends by talking with them using KMIP protocol.

Hadoop KMS currently designed in a pluggable manner to allow other key storage backend. Conceptually, to support KMIP compatible backend, we need to provide a KMIP implementation of KeyProvider  interface. And this implementation talking to a KMIP compatible backend through a KMIP client.
