<H1>XCA - X Certificate and key management</H1>

<H2>(c) by Christian Hohnst&auml;dt, <CODE>christian@hohnstaedt.de</CODE></H2>April 2011 - Version 0.9.1
<HR>
<EM>This application is intended for creating and managing X.509 certificates, certificate requests, RSA, DSA and EC private keys, Smartcards and CRLs.
Everything that is needed for a CA is implemented.
All CAs can sign sub-CAs recursively. These certificate chains are shown clearly.
For an easy company-wide use there are customiseable templates that can be used for certificate or request generation.
All crypto data is stored in an endian-agnostic file format portable across operating systems.</EM>
