Tue, Dec 16th 2008 11:51
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Systems Administration
About: gnoMint is a tool for easily creating and managing certification
authorities. It provides fancy visualization of all the pieces of
information that pertain to a CA, such as x509 certificates, CSRs, and
CRLs. gnoMint is currently capable of managing a CA that emits certificates

gnomint-cli. This interface allows any action over a gnoMint database,
getting its orders through standard input. gnoMint is now fully scriptable.
For example, you could create a cron task for generating CRLs at scheduled
times, or create a bunch of new certificates from a list of employees.

for the development of portable threaded applications. Support is provided
both for POSIX platforms and native builds under Win32. The goal is to
provide a truly common C++ framework for writing portable threaded
applications that do not require a huge amount of runtime overhead to
support, and hence can make C++ and threads suitable even for the
development of trivial servers and applications.
Changes: A lot of code cleanup and a fix for IPv6 multicast support, as
well as consolidation of Debian patches upstream.

Communications :: Telephony
Office/Business
Security
About: GNU SIP Witch is a pure SIP-based office telephone call server that
supports generic phone system features like call forwarding, hunt groups
and call distribution, call coverage and ring groups, holding, and call
transfer, as well as offering SIP specific capabilities such as presence
and messaging. It supports secure telephone extensions for making calls
over the Internet, and intercept/decrypt-free peer-to-peer audio and video
extensions. It is not a SIP proxy, a multi-protocol telephone server, or an
IP-PBX, and does not try to emulate Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, or Yate.
Changes: This release has a new "forward" plugin to forward registration
when sipwitch is used to manage a secure VoIP realm in conjunction with an
insecure IP PBX. It also provides destination dialing to IP PBX-managed
"insecure" destinations from secure VoIP user agents. This makes it very
easy for any organization to set up and deploy secure user agents in
conjunction with already existing (insecure) VoIP infrastructure.
