This draft is a work item of the Provisioning of Symmetric Keys Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Portable Symmetric Key Container

This document specifies a symmetric key format for transport and
   provisioning of symmetric keys (for example One Time Password (OTP)
   shared secrets or symmetric cryptographic keys) to different types of
   crypto modules such as a strong authentication device.  The standard
   key transport format enables enterprises to deploy best-of-breed
   solutions combining components from different vendors into the same
   infrastructure.

   This work is based on earlier work by the members of OATH (Initiative
   for Open AuTHentication) to specify a format that can be freely
   distributed to the technical community.  The authors believe that a
   common and shared specification will facilitate adoption of two-
   factor authentication on the Internet by enabling interoperability
   between commercial and open-source implementations.
