Ballot: Straw poll on whether to allow "mutating attributes" in KMIP V1.0.
Company:
SafeNet, Inc.
Vote:
Modify KMIP specification to include both 2 and 3 above.
Comment:
I think it's important to limit the scope of which attributes can change. The smaller the set, the more likely clients are to fully implement and achieve better interoperability.

If the set of mutatable attributes includes key size, which has been used as an example, then the client will certainly need a mechanism to opt out in case it is not able to store or use a key size other than the one requested.
