Certificate Authority - Open Source Implementations

Open Source Implementations

There exist several open source implementations of certificate authority software. Common to all is that they provide the necessary services to issue, revoke and manage digital certificates.

Some open source implementations are:

  • EJBCA
  • OpenCA
  • OpenSSL, which is really an SSL/TLS library, but comes with tools allowing its use as a simple certificate authority.
  • gnoMint
  • DogTag
  • XCA
  • r509

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or source:

    “I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience—it also marks the time, which is four o’clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere.”
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    “Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions; concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
