Re: [cicm] Key Fill (was: Proposed WG Charter)

Maybe just say " add module events for symmetric and asymmetric key fill"

'Key Fill' is a common terminology.

Lev,

You mean like an HSM, as an example of a key filled device?

Seems like it should say something like "Key filled device" or
"key filled interface" or "key filled action" or "key filled protocol" or
_something_ then. The way it's worded is a bit odd as far as the
English grammar goes.

To me, that bullet reads as though some word is missing at the
end. Even with your explanation (which now makes it makes it sense)
it still reads very awkward to me.
