Mr or Mrs,


I'm a sudent in network technologie at EPITA (a french computing school in Paris) and 
I'm in telecommunication specialisation. I've to do a report on PKI. More exactely my 
report deals about the comparaison of the different PKI solution.
During my research, I've discovered your PKI products.
I would like to know if you could help me sending me some technical documentations in 
order to compare your products with other PKI products.
I think that there are 5 PKI families:
- open products like OpenCA
- products to build a in house PKI like Baltimore, Entrust...
- integrated product like Windows 2000 
- outsourcing PKI infrastructure  
- certification autority who only deliver certification like enditrust or click and 
trust.
During my research I have found different point to compare the PKI :
- Certificate support
- Revocation methods
- Scalability
- Security
- PKI topologies
- Registration mechanisms for all the functions (email, VPN, Web ...)
- Directory support
- Smart Card support
- Key management
- Interoperability
- Algorithm supported 
In order to make easy this comparaison I have created a comparaison table.
I've joined this Excel table (tableau_PKI.xls). I would be glade if you could fill it.


Thank you for your time and your interest. 
I'm looking foreward to reading you.
Yours sincerely

Hi Kevin,

First of all, you're addressing your request to a developper only
mailing-list (openssl-dev). That's bad.

Second point, it seems you didn't understand that OpenSSL is not a PKI
product in itself, built by a company. It's an open source API, developed
by volunteers within their spare free time.

Last point, I don't think that your teacher would like those volunteers to
do your job. If *they* fill in your Excel document, who will get the note?
Did you really understand what your teacher asked you to do?
