Botan 1.7.19 (Development branch)

Botan is a C++ library of cryptographic algorithms, including AES, DES, SHA-1, RSA, DSA, Diffie-Hellman, and many others. It also supports X.509 certificates and CRLs, and PKCS #10 certificate requests, and has a high level filter/pipe message processing system. The library is easily portable to most systems and compilers, and includes a substantial tutorial and API reference. License: BSD License (revised) Changes:
This release adds a new PRNG design based on Hugo Krawczyk's HMAC-KDF paper, as well as a new AutoSeeded_RNG class. The Turing stream cipher has been significantly optimized, and often runs between 20% and 40% faster than in previous versions, depending on the compiler and processor. Image

NAME
x509 - X.509 certificate handling LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h> DESCRIPTION
A X.509 certificate is a structured grouping of information about an individual, a device, or anything one can imagine. A X.509 CRL (certificate revocation list) is a tool to help determine if a certificate is still valid. The exact definition of those can be found in the X.509 document from ITU-T, or in RFC3280 from PKIX. In OpenSSL, the type X509 is used to express such a certificate, and the type X509_CRL is used to express a CRL. A related structure is a certificate request, defined in PKCS#10 from RSA Security, Inc, also reflected in RFC2896. In OpenSSL, the type X509_REQ is used to express such a certificate request. To handle some complex parts of a certificate, there are the types X509_NAME (to express a certificate name), X509_ATTRIBUTE (to express a certificate attributes), X509_EXTENSION (to express a certificate extension) and a few more. Finally, there's the supertype X509_INFO, which can contain a CRL, a certificate and a corresponding private key. X509_..., d2i_X509_... and i2d_X509_... handle X.509 certificates, with some exceptions, shown below. X509_CRL_..., d2i_X509_CRL_... and i2d_X509_CRL_... handle X.509 CRLs. X509_REQ_..., d2i_X509_REQ_... and i2d_X509_REQ_... handle PKCS#10 certificate requests. X509_NAME_... handle certificate names. X509_ATTRIBUTE_... handle certificate attributes. X509_EXTENSION_... handle certificate extensions. SEE ALSO
