CDSA_V2_New_Features

  New Features in CDSA V2.2

  - Full support for Secure Delivery, a mechanism used to produce and
    validate digital signatures for PCSI kits to be installed on OpenVMS.

  - Version 0.9.7E of the OpenSSL crypto routines.

  New features in CDSA V2.1
 
  - The ability to use CDSA$SIGN.EXE to create manifests for generic
    files, rather than just executable files.

  - CDSA$VALIDATE.EXE, which allows checking a generic manifest
    against the file for which it was created.  Also available is
    the new routine CDSA_FileValidate, which can be called
    programmatically to perform the same function.

  - Version 0.9.7D of the OpenSSL crypto routines.

  New features in CDSA V2.0

  - The tools to let application developers create certificates and 
    sign their applications and optionally participate in bilateral 
    authentication with CSSM.
 
  - The tools to allow developers to create new plug-in modules 
    written for an existing category of service, and to have the 
    modules participate in bilateral authentication with CSSM.
 
  - The tools to allow developers to create new categories of 
    service and write plug-in modules to the new interface (and 
    participate in bilateral authentication with CSSM).
 
  - New example programs to demonstrate the steps for writing 
    and signing applications and plugin modules.
 
  - Version 0.9.6G of the OpenSSL crypto routines.
