Announcement:
=============
The OpenCA Team announce the availability of the new project LibPRQP and
initial
source code:
Current Version: v0.0.1 (Initial Source Code)
Project Overview:
=================
The LibPRQP package is aimed to provide a PRQP enabling library which can
be used
by applications in order to discover PKI services and repositories.
With the deployment of new applications and services, the need to access
PKI
resources provided by different organizations is critical. Regrettably,
still today
each application needs to be told about how to find these services for
each new
certificate it encounters.
The basic concept of the protocol is to provide a method to answer to the
question
"where is resource X URL from this CA ?". The resources might be items
that are
(occasionally) embedded in certificates today-such as URLs for CRLs or
OCSP or
SCVP-as well as items such as addresses of the CA homepage address, the
subscription
service, or the revocation request.
Project Status:
===============
o [03 Apr 2007] First initial code available for download (libprqp v0.0.1)
