OpenCA X.509 Private Guard (inofficial name)
============================================

This distribution should include the following files:

- README
- Makefile.crt
- openca-xpg

OpenCA XPG is a "small" Perl script which acts as wrapper for OpenSSL
and OpenCA SV. It can handle keys, requests and certificates to support
all essential operations on files - signing, verification, encryption
and decryption.

The application is openca-xpg which requires openssl and openca-sv. It
creates the directory $HOME/.openca-xpg/. This directory contains two
links to openssl and openca-sv. Please verify that these links are
correct. This program only works with openca-sv 0.9.2 or higher.

The last dependency is the makefile for the chain creation. The
directory $HOME/chain/ must contain an appropriate makefile which
creates the symbolic links. A usable makefile is included and must be
placed in $HOME/chain/. If there is no such file present and the file
is needed then OpenCA XPG searches for such a file.

I hope the rest is self explainable - simply use XPG by ./openca-xpg.
