3.2.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.

Note that the notation (Public) indicates that the element can be directly accessed from outside this protocol.

The following elements are defined by this protocol:

Data Store Information (Public): A string that is optionally returned from the server during key provisioning. It contains information about the data store that the key was registered with.
