OpenSSLUI,OpenSSL UI,OpenSSLGUI Files

Following are the steps to install OpenSSLUI on your PC, this version is tested on Vista,xp only. Though I herd that it works for Windows 8 , I have not tested it personally

1. Run setup.exe
2. copy openssl101g folder to a folder in your pc , to which OpenSSLUI has read , write access
3. Set OPENSSL_UI_PATH environmental variable to copied openssl101g folder
4. Launch OpenSSLUI from start menu


#############################IMPORTANT###############################################

This version is primarily for accommodating the Hearbleed (CVE-2014-0160 ) security fix
done by openssl team for the version OpenSSL 1.0.1g. 

OpenSSLUI is tested briefly with openssl 1.0.1g version. Hence any bugs please report to
the email shown at the end of this document

Features for version 1.3


1. Can create RSA key pairs of bit lenght 512 ,1024 , 2048 (2048 is added in version 1.2)
	
	RSA key passphrase is no longer a compulsory one. Users have the option to either 
	specify a passphrase or omit the value. In the latter case the RSA key would be generated
	without a passphrase.In the case that the users have specified a passphrase TRIPLE DES
	algorithm would be used to encrypt the RSA key. version 1.2 doesn't support changing this
	algorithm to DES pr IDEA.

2. Can create self signed certificates. 

	These certificates can be used as test ROOT CA,In version 1.2 you need not key in all 
	certificate attributes. Only common name and the country is compulsory now. In the earlier
	versions all the certificate attributeswere compulsory. But due to user requests only 
	country and common name are made to be compulsory now.
	
	In addition to that users have many differnt options for selecting certificate validity
	period
	

3. Can creat a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

	The RSA password field is no longer a compulsory one. Hence users can use RSA keys which
	does not have a password to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) . Also users can 
	select upto 2048 bit lenght RSA key strenght.
	
	In version 1.2 you need not key in all certificate attributes. Only common name and the 
	country is compulsory now. In the earlier versions all the certificate attributeswere 
	compulsory. But due to user requests only country and common name are made to be compulsory now.
	
4. Can sign a CSR with a given CA certificate and a key

5. Can create PKCS12 certificate chain
