SimpleAuthority is a fully functional Certification Authority
(CA) that is designed to be very easy to use. It generates and manages keys and certificates that provide
cryptographic digital identities for people and/or computer servers. These identities are designed to be used
in other applications such as for:
secure two factor authentication - using a technology like
KeyVault for controlling access to Web resources
secure email - for digital signing and encryption of email
document signing - including PDF, Word and OpenOffice
What's New
Version 3.4:
Improved command line interface to support use of different CAs
Fixed bug where application crashes if data directory does not have read or write permission
Fixed installer bug that prevented generation of ics files on Windows
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

Actually, if you go to the developer's website, it says SimpleAuthority is free for up to 4 users, with no nagware reminders. You only need to buy a license to manage more than 4 users.

Version 2.6 crashes on launch. Version 2.5 works fine.
Leopard v10.5.8 (9L30) PPC.
It seems to be expecting JAVA 1.6, but for 10.5.8 that's only available (from Apple, at any rate) for 64-bit Intel architectures. Sadness.

I use the Certificate Assistant in Keychain - it covers the same features.
For a good overview visit afp548 for an article about this - http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20080624005724638

Not only did I visit the dev website - I actually used the app. As an admin, it was of great interest to me - my comment was based upon experience.
My comment stands, Keychain covers this for free.
