Hi, I would like to announce the availability of a free and open-source (LGPL) tool - CSRTool v0.01- to the PKI/Crypto/Security community.
CSRTool is a Java-based, GUI-driven utility that: * Generates RSA public and private key-pairs in sizes ranging from 1024 to 8192 bits; * Generates Elliptic Curve DSA public and private key-pairs using either the ANSI X9.62 named curves, or custom parameters of your own curve, if so inclined; * Saves the private-key in a PKCS8 file with Password-Based-Encryption using the SHA1withTripleDES algorithm; * Generates a PEM-encoded CSR that can be submitted to a CA either through a web-form or e-mail; * Generates keyUsage and/or the subjectAltName extensions (optionally) in the RSA-based CSR; * Combines the private-key from the previously-stored PKCS8 file and the newly returned digital certificate, into a PKCS12 file that can be used for importation into desired applications; future releases will support the JKS & JCEKS key-stores, and crypto hardware tokens; It was created to make working with PKIs a little easier. Everything it does can be done with various CLI-based utilities easily enough, but the GUI makes it just a little easier for some people. More information and downloads of the binary and source can be found at http://www.strongauth.com/csrtool. Documentation is included in the downloads, and a forum for discussion of the tool is available at that site. Enjoy!
