OpenCA Project Overview:
========================
The OpenCA Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
full featured and Open Source out-of-the-box Certification Authority
implementing the most used protocols with full-strength cryptography
world-wide. OpenCA is based on many Open Source Projects. Among the
supported software is OpenLDAP, OpenSSL, Apache Project, mod_ssl.
The project development is divided in two main tasks: studying and
refining the security scheme that guarantees the best model to be
used in a CA and developing software to easily setup and manage a
Certification Authority.
