Solaris Key Management Framework
In the Solaris Express Community Edition, the Key Management Framework (KMF) provides tools
and programming interfaces for managing public key objects. Public key objects include X.509
certificates and public/private key pairs. The formats for storing these objects can vary. KMF
also provides a tool for managing policies that define the use of
X.509 certificates by applications. In the Solaris Express Community Edition, KMF supports third-party
plugins.
