Abstract
In this article we will discuss the requirements of security toolkits for open networks, explain some important technical details and give a perspective on modern security technology. To illustrate these issues we will focus on the current and future development of SECUDE. We will give a brief overview of the SECUDE [16] structure, emphasize the latest developments and new security APIs, such as improvements in the CRYPT-API, the integration of new smartcards, the Directory access via LDAP, the support of X.509v3 certificates and new security features like GSSv2, PKCS#7,10, S/MEME, BAKO and SURE.
