# The security/libksba port

## libksba-1.6.8 – X.509 library

## Description

    Libksba is a library to make the tasks of working with X.509
    certificates, CMS data and related objects more easy. It provides a
    highlevel interface to the implemented protocols and presents the data
    in a consistent way. There is no more need to worry about all the nasty
    details of the protocols. The API gives the C programmer an easy way of
    interacting with the data. It copes with the version details X.509
    protocols tend to have as well as with the many different versions and
    dialects. Applications must usually cope with all of this and it has to
    be coded over and over again. Libksba hides this by providing just one
    API which does the Right Thing. Support for new features will be added
    as needed.
