This directory contains both sample applications and performance evaluation

applications.

SAMPLE APPLICATIONS

Currently, there are two performance applications: libpkix_buildThreads and

nss_threads. And three sample applications: dumpcert, dumpcrl and 

validateChain..

============================================================================

USAGE: 	dumpcert <certFile>

	Parses a certificate located at <certFile> and displays it.

Source: <root>/tests/sample_apps/dumpcert.c

Binary: <root>/bin/sample_apps/dumpcert

============================================================================

USAGE: 	dumpcrl <crlFile>

	Parses a CRL located at <crlFile> and displays it.

Source: <root>/tests/sample_apps/dumpcrl.c

Binary: <root>/bin/sample_apps/dumpcrl

============================================================================

USAGE: 	validateChain <trustedCert> <cert_1> <cert_2> ... <cert_n>

	Validates a chain of n certificates using the given trust anchor.

Source: <root>/tests/sample_apps/validateChain.c

Binary: <root>/bin/sample_apps/validateChain

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION APPLICATIONS

============================================================================

USAGE:  libpkix_buildthreads <duration> <threads> <eecertNickname> 

	Sets up and runs a PKIX_BuildChain call for the number of seconds

	specified by <duration> using the number of threads specified by

	<threads>. This application assumes that the NSS certutil application

	has already been run to create the NSS databases and that the

	various nicknames on the command line have been associated with

	certificates in the NSS databases. The NSS databases MUST reside

	in the directory where this file is located and MUST be named

	"cert8.db", "key3.db", and "secmod.db". There must exist a nickname

        in the databases which has been marked as trusted.

Binary: <root>/perf/libpkix_buildthreads/*.OBJ/libpkix_buildthreads

============================================================================

USAGE:  nssThreads <duration> <threads> <eecertNickname>

	Sets up and runs a CERT_VerifyCertificate call for the number of

	seconds specified by <duration> using the number of threads specified

	by <threads>. This application assumes that the NSS certutil

	application has already been run to create the NSS databases and that

	the various nicknames on the command line have been associated with

	certificates in the NSS databases. The NSS databases MUST reside

	in the directory where this file is located and MUST be named

	"cert8.db", "key3.db", and "secmod.db". There must exist a nickname in

	the databases which has been marked as trusted.
