OpenSSL is a tool kit for building your own PKI. Another toolkit is Oscar. 
Does anyone know of a shareware PKI system already built? Something
with the CA and RA functions, works with a crypto box
(ncipher, chryslis, or sureware keeper), hooks for smartcards.... that
sort of thing. 

XCERT, CYLINK, Baltimore, netscape certificate server, all cost a
ton of money. We have Pine, Perl, Apache..... Higher Ed. is in need of a
shareware PKI product.

CREN (at MIT I think) is an org willing to root higher Ed. No need to go
to Verisign anymore. If enough people start using CREN as their root,
netscape and IE will be forced (in other words, without being paid to do
so) to add CREN to the list a trusted CA's.
