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:

    Don: Why are they closed? They’re all closed, every one of them.
    Pawnbroker: Sure they are. It’s Yom Kippur.
    Don: It’s what?
    Pawnbroker: It’s Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday.
    Don: It is? So what about Kelly’s and Gallagher’s?
    Pawnbroker: They’re closed, too. We’ve got an agreement. They keep closed on Yom Kippur and we don’t open on St. Patrick’s.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    Please don’t look at me as if you had a source of income other than your salary.
