I don't know of any npm packages. If there are, they probably shell out to `openssl` because: a) there is no support in node.js core for generating private keys or certificates except for ephemeral Diffie-Hellman keys, and b) it's exceedingly difficult for native add-ons to link to the bundled copy of OpenSSL. We'll fix that - someday. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
