About SimpleAuthority
A Certification Authority (CA) that is designed to be very easy to use. It generates and manages keys and certificates that provide cryptographic digital identities for people and/or computer servers. These identities are designed to be used in other applications such as for:
- secure email - for digital signing and encryption of email
- document signing - including PDF, Word and OpenOffice documents
- VPN access - to provide a much higher level of security than username/password access
- client SSL authentication - to control access to an online service such as a subversion repository or wiki

- code signing - including Java archives, Windows executables, etc.
