The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS) is a document that is defining the protocols used for distributing and registering public keys that can be used with the XML Signature standards developed by the World Wide Web Consortium and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), being an anticipated standard that would be used together with the XML encryption standard.
Basically, the XKMS standard is formed by two parts: XML Key Information Service Specification (X-KISS) and the XML Key Registration Service Specification
The web services a simply a number of tools that can be used in many various ways. The most used ones are PRC, SOA and REST.
The Remote Procedure Call web services is a service familiar to a great variety of developers. It represents a distributed function call interface. The most well-know operation of RPC is WSDL.

It was in 2002, that DSS was initially proposed. It was the same time when the technical team of the organization was shaped for
This document specifies protocols for distributing and registering public keys, suitable for use in conjunction with the proposed standard for XML Signature [XML-SIG] developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and an anticipated companion standard for XML encryption. The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS) comprises two parts -- the XML Key Information Service Specification (X-KISS) and the XML Key Registration Service Specification (X-KRSS).The X-KISS specification defines a protocol for a Trust
