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.
