OpenOCES is a project dedicated to the development of free software components for the Danish OCES PKI. Since OCES is based on the X.509 standard, some of the OpenOCES subprojects, such as OpenSign, can be used in any X.509 based PKI. Read more about the OpenOCES project and OCES in general here.
Currently, OpenOCES hosts 3 projects:
OpenSign v1.6.5 has been released.
This release includes important security improvements. Secondly the signed binary applets are now signed by DanID instead of TDC. The old TDC code signing certificate will be revoked within weeks, so everybody is urged to upgrade to OpenSign v1.6.5 as soon as possible.

On October 16 2008 a new version 1.6.5 of OpenSign will be released.
Note that the released version will be signed by DanID. TDC has transferred all PKI activities to DanID including the management of OpenOCES.org. DanID is a company fully owned by PBS.
The TDC certificate which is used for signing the current stable release of OpenSign and OpenLogon will be revoked shortly after the release.
We now have searchable archives of our mailing lists. The search archives are available from the mailing list overview.
This release implements two fixes from the unstable v1.7.x branch. Most importantly it fixes a bug causing certificates accessed through Microsoft CryptoAPI to be unavailable when the applet is executed in protected mode on Windows Vista. Secondly, this release fixes a bug causing the applets to not work properly from within the Opera browser.
