EduLib Launches CERTivity KeyStores Manager, a Public Key Infrastructure Software Application
Summary
In addition to signing, EduLibs tool offers possibility for verifying the validity of the signatures, preventing PDF documents from being subject to tampering displaying valuable information about the verification process with "intriguing" details which can be of interest to developers or analysts."We believe that a small professional team is the best and most effective environment for innovative software development," said Mihai Popa, CEO at EduLib.Craiova, Romania, March 23, 2012 --( PR.com )-- EduLib, a privately held software development company located in Craiova, Romania, with a solid software expertise of more than 10 years, announces the availability of CERTivity, a software tool which is a powerful pure Java multi-platform IDE for managing cryptographic keys, KeyStores for storing the keys and key pairs, digital certificates intensively used by SSL or other secure protocols, and, last but not least, creating and verifying digital signatures on files and documents.With this launch, EduLib intends to offer to the cryptographic software world, developers and system administrators, a comprehensive package of solutions for managing and handling cryptographic assets, and also enter the Public Key Infrastructure domain.CERTivity provides for creation and usage of many KeyStore types such as the well known Java JKS, JCEKS, PKCS#12, or the Bouncy Castle types BKS and UBER and even the native Windows ones.We built CERTivity with these aspects in mind," said David Dascalescu, the CTO at EduLib.CERTivitys features are combined and centralized having an intuitive and productive organization in an IDE style thus maximizing the productivity of its end-users.CERTivity also offers the possibility to sign and verify signatures of well known file types such as PDF, XML documents, or JAR archives thus offering solutions for ensuring the authenticity of documents and ensuring that the contents of the digital files remain unchanged.CERTivity can digitally sign, by public/private-key encrypted byte range digest, PDF documents supporting all the SubFilter values "adbe.x509.rsa_sha1", "adbe.pkcs7.detached" and "adbe.pkcs7.sha1", according to the PDF reference, version 1.7.The process of signing and verifying is made much easier by the GUI, which makes it a more pleasant experience than using equivalent command line tools, especially with a variety of formats covered (PKCS #8, PKCS #12, OpenSSL and all the above KeyStore types).The tool released by EduLib contains other functions as well, which can be of interest to any developer, network administrator, or just everyone who has intersected with the X.509-based Public Key Infrastructure.
