It covers and combines functions that otherwise are available through verbose command line tools or other operating system tools or browsers. It is not intended to be just a simple 1:1, replacement of these tools – the features being combined and centralized in an intuitive and productive organization.
CERTivity® main features and advantages are briefly presented below and in more detail in its manual available for download.
GUI Representation
of the security related items in a Tabbed Document Interface allowing for visualizing in parallel the following types of models: KeyStores, individual Certificates and Test Certificate Scenarios. The GUI representation is taking advantage of the natural approach of using an IDE style interface.
KeyStores entries are represented using a Tree Table structure, each entry and subentry being visualized in a Details Panel resembling the view of an e-mail client. As well, KeyStore entries take advantage of contextual menus or natural editing actions such as but not limited to delete, rename, expand, undo/redo. Many of these actions can also be used through Keyboard shortcuts. Navigation between KeyStore entries is enhanced by positioning based on the first character (case sensitive) of a KeyStore alias or by sorting the table columns.
Many of the application’s components expose Context Sensitive Help, the Table of Contents tree being synchronized with the current context. Status Bar is displaying useful information including if the KeyStore is case sensitive, or case aware.
