Summary:

KeyManager was written to experiment with PKI, X.509 certificates, key signing and SSL authentication.

About:

For some time now I've wanted to experiment with key signing and Certificate Authorities. I tried openssl but it seriously creeps me out to have to remember all those commandline options from time to time not to mention the documentation. Sun's Keytool work fine but is not usable for all my needs.

I tried looking for existing tools that would suit my needs, but they were either incomplete, bloated or would not run on my setup.

Some uses for this utility could be to enable for key-based user authentication in HTTP/POP3/IMAP/SMTP/FTP.
