PKI.info: Retrieve PKI back-end information

In s-u/PKI: Public Key Infrastucture for R Based on the X.509 Standard

Retrieve PKI back-end information

Description

PKI.info returns information about the engine which is providing the PKI functionality.

Usage

PKI.info()

Value

Named list:

engine	string, name of the engine, currently either "openssl" or "libressl"
version	numeric, version of the engine as a real number in the form major.minor
description	string, description of the engine, its version and any futher information that the engine may provide

Note

This function should be treated as informational only. The return value is subject to change, mainly we may extend it to possibly supply information on available ciphers etc.

Older versions of OpenSSL did not provide functional API to retrieve version inforation, so versions < 1.1 may not reflect the true version, but rather the values from the headers at compile time which may not be the same as the loaded library at run-time.
