EJBCA - The J2EE Certificate Authority - Welcome

EJBCA - The J2EE Certificate Authority - Welcome: "EJBCA is a fully functional Certificate Authority. Based on J2EE technology it constitutes a robust, high performance and component based CA. Both flexible and platform independent, EJBCA can be used standalone or integrated in any J2EE application.

EJBCA is an enterprise class PKI, meaning that you can use EJBCA to build a complete PKI infrastructure for your organisation. If you only want to issue a few single certificates for testing, there are probably options that will get you started quicker, but if you want a serious PKI we recommend EJBCA.

You can use EJBCA to issue certificates for different purposes such as:

* Strong authentication for users accessing your intranet/extranet/internet resources.
* Secure communication with SSL servers and SSL clients.
* Smart card based login to Windows and/or Linux.
* Signing and enrypting email.
* VPN connections by issuing certificates to your VPN routers such as OpenVPN, Cisco, Juniper etc.
* Client VPN access with certificates in users VPN clients.
* Single sign-on by using a single certificate to secure logon to web applications.
* Creating signed documents.
* Issue citizen certificates for access to government resourses, used in passports etc.
* ... and many many more ..."
