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 count him a great man who inhabits a higher sphere of thought, into which other men rise with labor and difficulty; he has but to open his eyes to see things in a true light, and in large relations; whilst they must make painful corrections, and keep a vigilant eye on many sources of error.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Dear sensibility! source inexhausted of all that’s precious in our joys, or costly in our sorrows!... eternal fountain of our feelings!—’tis here I trace thee—and this is thy divinity which stirs within me ...—all comes from thee, great—great SENSORIUM of the world!
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
