Design
OpenXPKI is mostly written in Perl. The software is separated into a server process and several client implementations which communicate with the server via Unix Domain Sockets.
One of these client implementations is a web frontend that allows users to access the OpenXPKI system using a web browser. A different client implements a SCEP server.
The OpenXPKI server mainly consists of a toolbox that provides the core cryptographic functions and a workflow engine that allows to define workflows implementing the PKI processes.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life ... for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You can make as good a design out of an American turkey as a Japanese out of his native stork.”
—For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
