SafeRelay is a certificate authority center that utilizes OpenSSL to provide secure certificates.
If you're a network administrator searching for a certificate authority center to deploy certificates on your LAN (local area network) using TLS/SSL, then SafeRelay might be what you're looking for. Written with CURSEL and based on OpenSSL, SafeRelay can be useful for setting up intranet web servers, connecting LAN users over IMAP/SSL or POP3/SSL to your mailserver, enabling connections to your Sendmail SMTP server using certificate client authentication, and implement S/MIME client authentication based on certificates for intranet HTTPS web servers.
One of the key benefits of SafeRelay is its ability to help protect against the loss of certificates. It's common for users to forget to make a backup of their certificates. But with SafeRelay, if their PC crashes, the user can recover the private key and certificate from a diskette without assistance from the network administrator. It's even possible to import the certificate from the diskette onto multiple PCs to avoid losing the certificate in the event of a crash on one of them.
However, if the diskette is lost, stolen, or suffers from a media error, a new diskette with a new keypair must be prepared for the user. But by giving the user a diskette with a certificate, they immediately receive a backup on any tangible medium. SafeRelay even allows a user to use "cdrecord" and a CD-RW drive instead, which is useful for important keys and certificates. Users could also copy the contents of the diskette onto a read-only medium such as a CD for further protection.
In conclusion, SafeRelay is an excellent certificate authority center that can help network administrators manage certificates on their LAN with ease thanks to its flexibility and advanced features.
