1. Process Asynchronous Requests
February, 2019

2. Problem Can request Asynchronously Can Poll for result
Start generating tomorrow's RSA keys
Can Poll for result
Tomorrow, when keys are needed
Can Cancel a request
But cannot say "do it now"
E.g. Key is compromized, I need new one, now

3. Solution New Process operation
Changes the previous asynchronous request into synchronous
Next Poll must return the result of completion of the original request
I.e. the server effectively processes the previously asynchronous request as though it had not been submitted asynchronously

4. Example
<Operation type="Enumeration" value="Process"/> <RequestPayload> <AsynchronousCorrelationValue type="ByteString" value="1234-…"/> </RequestPayload>

5. Conclusion
Logical extension of the improved asynchronous handling in KMIP-2.0
Enables asynchronous requests to be made synchronous if circumstances change
Deterministic behavior for clients
