Hello Mike,
Yes, I understand it won’t help with the existing/current keys on Keyper which are not exportable.
As KMIP allows us to move keys from one HSM to another (different vendor) I thought it would help with vendor lock-ins going forward. “Going forward” is when a different HSM is being selected.
Although, it seems like a good number of Keypers are secured before the EoL so I suppose we are good for quite a while. Plenty of time to think what to do.
Cheers!

KMIP is probably not relevant to this problem. The problem I think you're trying to solve here is not one of interface (how to talk to the keys), but of key protection.

There is not much you can do with the existing keys but still, KMIP is something to consider going forward if one is concerned about vendor lock-ins.
Needless to say, like anything else, there is a tradeoff.

I concur; moving keys not marked as CKA_EXTRACTABLE (at time of generation) is generally not supported (due to FIPS requirements).
