cacert is an excellent suggestion for setting up a CA. And the code is available
for use by others.

There is a tool 'certtool' in GnuTLS though, which can generate X.509
certificates.  It uses libgcrypt.

Not yet.  We don't have a need for it right now.  For CA software you
need more than just the ability to create a certificate.

No gpgsm creates pkcs#10 requests.  These are requests to a CA to
create a certificate from the request.

Key Certificates in GNUPG

2006-08-06 Thread Rubis Paul

Hi ,
 I am trying to generate some RSA keys and store them as
certificates. I am using libgcrypt library to generate RSA keys.

a. Is there any function in Libgrypt or Libksba to generate certificates ?

b. in the source directory of GNUPG, i can see certlist.c,
certreqgen.c etc under the 'sm' directory using structures defiened in
ksba.h file for creating certificate. Is there any format defined for
the certificate ? if yes, where i can see that ? also if i want to
store it  on my own format , what are the implications?

c. I am really new to this. Could some one tell me what exactly i have
to do in order to store RSA keys generated using libgcrypt as a
certificate.
