X Certificate and Key management is an interface for managing asymetric keys like RSA or DSA. It is intended as a small CA for creation and signing certificates. It uses the OpenSSL library for the cryptographic operations.

Please see the XCA homepage http://hohnstaedt.de/xca

Features

  • Start your own PKI and create all kinds of certificates, requests or CRLs
  • Import and export them in any format like PEM, DER, PKCS#7, PKCS#12
  • Use them for your IPsec, OpenVPN, HTTPs or any other certificate based setup
  • Manage your Smart-Cards via PKCS#11 interface
  • Export certificates and requests to a OpenSSL config file
  • Create Subject- and/or Extension- templates to ease issuing similar certs
  • Convert existing certificates or requests to templates
  • Get the broad support of x509v3 extensions as flexible as OpenSSL but user friendlier
  • Adapt the Columns to have your important information at a glance

User Reviews

  • The project is very well pieced together. It's intuitive, fast, and does precisely what it says it will do. It could benefit from a few more features: - Build the root chain certificate - Dump the database in the directory structure that is more popular, like: ./certs/ ./crl/ ./csr/ ./db/ ./private/ and save the openssl config files on a separate directory, maybe ./config/ ? Dumping the database also creates a number of files that look like they're duplicates across folders (have not confirmed). And the key files would be easier to identify if they were named with .key for a suffix. These are a bunch of personal preferences which do not in any way reduce the current usefulness and ease of use. Great job!
  • XCA is excellent tool for certificates management. It supports exporting to various formats and is able to resolve private keys with their certificates automatically
  • if you only knew about it before ... It has everything we need to be our own CA.
  • Very nice tool act like CA, keep up the good work!
  • No alternative come even close if you intend to manage certificates without having to resort to the command line.
