I used openssl to developp
- a certificate server
- a framework to developp TLS client and server apps
- an S/MIME Exchange client extension (to plug in Outlook,..)
All of them make a great use of
- PKCS#1,PKCS#5
- PKCS#7 and PKCS#10
- PKCS#12
And I have no problem to import these objects
in external PKI apps like Netscape or CryptoApi.
