KSBA Overview
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
KSBA (pronounced Kasbah) is a library to make X.509 certificates as
|
|
well as the CMS easily accessible by other applications. Both
|
|
specifications are building blocks of S/MIME and TLS.
|
|
|
|
KSBA is made available as a standard shared library and reserves
|
|
identifiers starting with "ksba" and "_ksba" (also uppercase and mixed
|
|
case). It does not rely on another cryptographic library.

Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
A standard info format reference manual is included. However the OCSP
|
|
feature has not yet been documented. See the comments in src/ocsp.c
|
|
and the example tests/t-ocsp.c. The GnuPG's dirmngr module makes
|
|
extensive use of the OCSP feature and may be used as another example.
