Hi, All I mentioned this package on ejbca-develop some time ago. Take a look at the release notes below to find out what it's about. My intention is eventually produce a tool kit that does a lot of general PKI tasks using the EJBCA code base as a starting point and hopefully grow the functionality of EJBCA by having the code available in more generic, functional and reusable form. You can get a tarball from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ejbca/pkit-full.tgz?download (with Bouncy Castle) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ejbca/pkit-noprov.tgz?download (without Bouncy Castle) pkit (PKI Tools) Release notes pkit is essentially a hack of code from EJBCA ( http://ejbca.sourceforge.net ) and relies heavily on the good work of Tomas Gustavsson and others from from EJBCA. I have simply de-EJB'ed their code and produced some classes that I hope, with the help of others ( you :-) ) to grow in to a useful, friendly and well written API to abstract the complexity of X509 and related PKI requirements and specifications. I also hope to de-mystify PKI and make it less of a 'dark art' and so I aim to add a lot of documentation and references. Currently you will be able to use PKIT to sign a to produce a well formed cert for usages: non repudiation key encipherment data encipherment cert signing etc .. using keys/certs or a PKCS10 request Changes from release 0.01 (initially anounced on this list and on the BC list) - Removed the hard coded password - Added property based configuration - Added some more sensible constructors - Improved the build file (added release target and a couple of other things) |
