gnoMint 0.3.1 released

I'm pleased to announce the 0.3.1 version of gnoMint: a graphical Certification Authority managing tool.

This version add some useful features to 0.1.5 version:

gnoMint can export PKCS#12 structures, so certificates created in the program can be easily imported by other programs as web browsers, or mail clients.

gnoMint is able to revoke certificates, and generate the corresponding Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).

The license has changed to GNU-GPLv3.

It also fixes some nasty bugs:

Now, it compiles perfectly in x86-64 architecture, after fixing thousands of type casting errors.

All the certificates were being created using 0 as serial number. Now, the internal serial number of each certificate is correctly established.

About gnoMint:

gnoMint is a tool for an easy creation and management of Certification Authorities. It allows a fancy visualization of all the pieces that conform a CA: x509 certificates, CSRs, CRLs...

Currently, it allows the creation of CAs, CSRs and Certificates, and export both public and private parts of them into PEM formatted files.

It manages the revocation of the created certificates, as well as the creation of CRLs.

gnoMint is now perfectly usable for managing a CA that emits certificates able to:

Authenticate people or machines in VPNs (IPSec or other protocols);

Secure HTTP communications with SSL/TLS secured web servers;

Authenticate and cipher HTTP communications through web-client certificates;

Sign and/or crypt e-mails

For compiling it, its dependencies are:
GTK+,Gnome, SQLite 3 and libGnuTLS 1.6
