SQLData XKMS 2.0 Client

XKMS client is a faithful implementation of W3C XKMS 2.0 Specification.  The toolkit has participated in the W3C interoperability testing and passed all the required tests.

The XKMS client is implemented in C/C++ as a COM object. It can be used in C/C++ applications as well as scripting environment such as VBScript or ASP pages. The object encapsulates the complexity of XKMS and makes XKMS operations as easy as a few function calls. 

Key Features

  • Support two phase protocol: The client can perform two phase exchanges with a XKMS service automatically and use nonce provided by the service provider in subsequent requests.
  • Capable of performing asynchronous processing: The client can get status information of a previous issued request, and retrieve results when ready.
  • Support of key generations on both client side and server side.
  • Use WS-Security for service level authentication.
  • Automatic XML signature verification.

Download and Installation

The XKMS 2.0 client can be downloaded here. It is an installer that guides you through a simple setup process. There are sample C/C++ projects, and plenty of sample VB scripts to get you started quickly.
