Common Security: CDSA and CSSM, Version 2 (with corrigenda)

CDSA is a set of layered security services that provides the infrastructure for extensible and interoperable security solutions. It provides complete flexibility through the use of plug-in security modules that use common Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The CDSA provides all the essential components of security capability, and enables implementers and application writers to gear their security solutions to their business needs.

The launch by Intel in May 2000 of their implementation of 'CDSA as Open Source' is intended to match this document.

Changes in this document comprise corrections collected in a corrigendum and applied to the text alongside an extensive restructuring to eliminate unnecessary duplication of definitions and description. The corrigendum changes follow extensive implementation experience between November 1999 and April 2000.
