openca/x9pki-dev repository overview

The x9pki-sdk Docker image is a containerized environment designed to facilitate the development and testing of applications that integrate with the X9 ASC PKI. This image is based on Ubuntu 24.10 and includes a pre-configured set of tools, libraries, and scripts necessary for working with the X9 ASC PKI. It provides a secure and isolated environment for developers to test various cryptographic scenarios, including traditional, post-quantum, and hybrid certificate options. The image also includes pre-generated private keys, certificates, and trust stores, enabling quick setup and testing without requiring manual certificate generation.

One of the key features of the x9pki-sdk Docker image is its support for multiple use cases relevant to the financial industry. These include TLS and standard protocol testing, secure payment QR codes, ISO 20022 payment messages, and content distribution networks (CDN). The image incorporates scripts for issuing new certificates, allowing developers to simulate real-world scenarios and test interoperability between different cryptographic algorithms and certificate chains. Additionally, the image integrates dependencies like OpenSSL and WolfSSL, ensuring compatibility with modern cryptographic standards and composite signature support.

The Docker image is structured to simplify the development workflow by including all necessary tools and configurations. It sets up environment variables for paths to cryptographic binaries and libraries, ensuring seamless execution of scripts and commands. The working directory is pre-configured to crypto, where all relevant files and scripts are located. By leveraging this image, developers can focus on testing and integration without worrying about the complexities of setting up a PKI environment, making it an essential tool for those working with the X9 ASC PKI.
