This application is intended as CA, certificate- and Key store. It uses a single file to store the items.

The signing of requests, and the creation of selfsigned certificates
This application is intended as CA, certificate- and Key store.
It uses a SQL database to store the items. By default this is SQLite3,
but MySQL and PostrgreSQL are also tested and supported.
Known types are Certificate signing requests (PKCS#10), Certificates (X509v3),
RSA, DSA and EC keys and Certificate revocation lists.
The signing of requests, and the creation of self-signed certificates
is supported. Both can use templates for simplicity.
The PKI structures can be imported and exported in several formats
like PKCS#12, PEM, DER, PKCS#8, PKCS#7.
