This is a strange question. You need the applications for a variety of reasons: for generating keypairs, for signing csr's, to display the certificate from a base64 encoded stream, etc etc.
Instead of such a vague question, if you tell us exactly what your requirement is, the group can help better. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bhat, Jayalakshmi Manjunath Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 4:19 PM To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: Hi..
