  50 <h2>About OpenXPKI</h2>
  51 <p>
  52   The OpenXPKI Project aims at creating an enterprise-grade
  53   PKI/Trustcenter software supporting well established infrastructure
  54   components like RDBMS and Hardware Security Modules. Flexibility and
  55   modularity are the project's key design objectives.
  56 </p>
  57 <p>
  58   Unlike many other OpenSource PKI projects OpenXPKI offers powerful features
  59   necessary for professional environments that are usually
  60   only found in commercial grade PKI products.<br/>
  61   However, we also target
  62   small scale installations by providing quick-start configuration examples
  63   that allow to get a usable PKI running quickly.

  70 <dt>Architecture White Paper available</dt>
  71 <dd>The OpenXPKI Team has compiled a White Paper on the architecture
  72   and key features of the OpenXPKI software. The paper is
  73   <a href="docs/OpenXPKI-Architecture-Overview.pdf">available
  74     as a PDF Document here</a> and outlines the architecture of the
  75   system. Development follows the concepts described there closely.

  79 <h2>The project</h2>
  80 <p>
  81   The development infrastructure is hosted at SourceForge.net
  82   <a href="http://sf.net/projects/openxpki/">
  83     http://sf.net/projects/openxpki/</a> - you will find
  84   mailing lists, repository, bug tracker, etc. there.
  85 </p>
  86 <h2>History</h2>
  87 <p>
  88   OpenXPKI originally started as a fork of OpenCA in October 2005 driven
  89   by the former OpenCA developers, but quickly turned out to be a complete
  90   redesign.
  91 </p>
  92 <p>
  93   This web site still contains references to the original OpenCA
  94   software and - as we continue to maintain the current 0.9.2 branch
  95   regarding security fixes - this may not change in the near future.
  96 </p>
  97 <p>
  98 Historically OpenCA was hosted on a web site
  99               <a href="http://www.openca.org/">
 100               www.openca.org</a>.<br/>
 101 Later, a new web site
 102               <a href="http://www.openca.info/">
 103               www.openca.info</a>
 104 was established. Today, it is just a link to the site which you are reading.
 105 We are providing limited legacy support for the OpenCA project
 106 (see <a href="legacy/index.html">OpenCA Legacy Support</a> section).
