SimpleAuthority

SimpleAuthority Publisher's Description:
SimpleAuthority is a Certification Authority (CA) that is designed to be very easy to use. It generates and manages keys and certificates that provide cryptographic digital identities for people and/or computer servers. These identities are designed to be used in other applications such as for:

* secure email - for digital signing and encryption of email
* document signing - including PDF, Word and OpenOffice documents
* VPN access - to provide a much higher level of security than username/password access
* client SSL authentication - to control access to an online service such as a subversion repository or wiki
* server SSL authentication - to authenticate a Web server to people within a known community.

What's new in this version:

* Support for certificate revocation and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) issuing
* Support for processing extension requests in Certificate Signing Request files
* The CA certificate can be exported in PEM format or to a directory
* PEM formatted identity files can optionally also include a copy of the certificate
* Certificate validity can now include a fraction of a day
* Improved performance for handling large numbers of users and certificates
* Improved support for integration with an LDAP directory
* Minor bug fixes and other improvements
