22 KSBA (pronounced Kasbah) is a library to make X.509 certificates as
23 well as the CMS easily accessible by other applications. Both
24 specifications are building blocks of S/MIME and TLS.
26 KSBA is made available as a standard shared library and reserves
27 identifiers starting with "ksba" and "_ksba" (also uppercase and mixed
28 case). It does not rely on another cryptographic library.
34 A standard info format reference manual is included. However the OCSP
35 feature has not yet been documented. See the comments in src/ocsp.c
36 and the example tests/t-ocsp.c. The GnuPG's dirmngr module makes
37 extensive use of the OCSP feature and may be used as another example.
