Your Own Chain of Trust

Key based authentication provides you a couple of interesting advantages

No single point of failure: Decoupled en decentralized authorization management
You are in control of your complete trust chain: Spoofing nearly impossible as no third party is involved
Rocket fast authentication: SSL off-loading can be performed by your webservers

Use cases for a key based authentication infrastructure are

Secure your internal REST micro-services and internal API's
Client-certificate based login for web-services and web applications
Secure access to your internal cloud services with your own HTTPS scheme
Secure your Internet of Things (IoT) network with your certificates and provision them via the BounCA API

BounCA Makes Key Management Easy

BounCA makes interacting with OpenSSL easy and let you setup a trusted encrypted communication network with your peers in a couple of minutes. Create a PKI, sign and revoke server and client X.509 v3 SSL certificates. With BounCA you can secure your web applications and OpenVPN connections without passwords, and secure access to your private cloud services with own HTTPS scheme. With BounCA setting up a provisioning service for your Internet of Things devices was never so easy.

Create

BounCA lets you create root certificate authorities, create intermediate certificates and client, server certificates in an easy web application. Export your keys as PEMs, PKCS12 files for your mail clients, and web servers such as NGINX and Apache.

Manage

BounCA is a web based tool. Within your favourite browser, you will have a clear overview of outstanding certificates, and the ability to revoke them within one mouse click. Keep also track of the expiration of certificates by importing the expiry date in your calendar.

Integrate

With BounCA, you can access your CA via a web browser, RESTful API and it is also possible to export your PKI with command line scripts. Manage the authentication of your Internet of Things (IoT) devices and Hook BounCA to your deployment system to generate client and server certificates on the fly.

BounCA is open source. It's hosted, developed, and maintained on GitHub.
