I don't know where this is intended to be used, but it may be useful to have some examples of common usage in the documentation (e.g. how to generate a certificate for a web server). I'd also miss key generation on smart card, but this may not be a popular use-case for a first release. As I see the API it can easily accommodate that in the future. > * Key usage > * Extended key usage These two proved to be hard to use in the internet. On a survey of certificates in web servers those values seem to be randomly selected based on each admin's understanding of the meaning of the values. > The code is capable of creating certificates, keys and signing requests with > support for the most common types of certificate extension.

I've only tested the code on Linux, but apart from the RandomGenerator > class it should work fine on all platforms. Why not use gnutls' gnutls_rnd()? regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
