Generally, the public/private key pair is contained, along with the public key of the signing authority, in a package commonly called a certificate. > Does the patch include a key generation utility? The regular openssl utility is used for this. There is no userspace material that comes with the X.509 patch. > Does the patch build smoothly? Yes. A little trouble on glibc 2.0, but if you needed the patches, you can get them from me or Jacques. > Are the keys inserted in ipsec.conf and ipsec.secrets? Yes. See http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/buipsec.html#AEN1466 for more details on this. > Does the patch appear to be solid? Yes. > Is it gonna work with WinXP's ipsec client? Yes. That is one of the main reasons for using it rather than RSA keypairs. There are others as well. > Thanks.
