                        OpenKeyServer v1.1 for
                    PowerPC G3 with Mac OS X Server


OVERVIEW

OpenKeyServer (OKS) is a server for storing and retrieving public
keys. Designed to cope with a fast growing number of PKS encryption
software and with the need of high availability in mind, it provides
a secure repository for managing keyrings of hundreds of PGP public
keys as well as keyrings of hundreds of thousands ones.

Entirely compatible with former PGP public keys servers systems, OKS is
smoothly and transparently integrable into any PKS infrastructure
like into the actual OpenPGP-compatible keyservers network or with
common PKS encryption software such as PGP and SafeMail. And, through
its customizable templates feature, its outputs are also easily
personalized to quickly conform to your Web site layouts.
