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

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or source:
“A temple, you know, was anciently “an open place without a roof,” whose walls served merely to shut out the world and direct the mind toward heaven; but a modern meeting-house shuts out the heavens, while it crowds the world into still closer quarters.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
