CDSA Specifications

The CDSA 2.0 specifications were adopted by The Open Group in December 1997. The CDSA specification documents are available for viewing from The Open Group web site. Hardbound copies of the documentation can be ordered directly from The Open Group.

The specification is a single document containing thirteen chapters. The document includes specifications of the CSSM APIs, Integrity Service APIs, Service Provider Interfaces, and other CDSA-related technologies.

The Intel CDSA 1.2 specifications are available for download from this website. The specification set consists of seven documents describing the CSSM APIs and service provider APIs implemented in Intel's CDSA1.2 reference implementation.

CDSA 2.0 added new and enhanced features to CDSA 1.2. These new features and enhancements have been summarized to assist developers in identifying differences between the CDSA 1.2 reference implementation and CDSA 2.0.
