Returning to the original topic though, do we want to get a smaller list together to spec out some ideas for the project that was discussed? A simple, transparent, tool which would allow people to use strong encryption without having to think about it?
It should be worth noting that I hope to put out the next version of SSLeay in less that a week (I hope, depending on how many nights I don't sleep :-) and it should include a 'demo' CA application. It will probably only use simple text indexes and directorys for storage but I intend it to be able to generate CRL and process certificate requests. The only question is do I put in support to ouput the certificate using a netscape/verisign compatable format :-). If nothing else, this should be a good starting point for adding a nice GUI front end and a real database backend. The application will be mostly a front-end to the SSLeay library so if I finish most of my documentation by then, others should be able to write a real CA application. eric -- Eric Young | Signature removed since it was generating AARNet: eay@mincom.oz.au | more followups than the message contents :-)
