2. Overview A client-server protocol for initialization (and configuration) of cryptographic tokens
Intended for general use within computer and communications systems employing connected cryptographic tokens
Objectives:
To provide a secure and interoperable method of initializing cryptographic tokens with secret keys
To avoid, as much as possible, any impact on existing cryptographic token manufacturing processes
To provide a solution that is easy to administer and scales well
To provide a solution which does not require private-key capabilities in tokens, nor the existence of a public-key infrastructure
3. Principles of operation
