Hey Peter,

Related question.

Since the patents have now expired for public/private key stuff held by
RSA, do you know if anyone ported a PKI to Linux open sourced with the
other crypto stuff? Is there a BSafe equivalent around now that you
know of? If so, I can get my NDS clone out the door on Linux.

:-)
