to create, query and destroy X509 user proxies. It provides interfaces to
create GSI security contexts via a GSI handshake. The API provides access
certificate chains, public and private keys of GSI Credentials, which can
be used for signing data and verification of digital signatures.
- gridFTP: The ftpClient module provides synchronous and
asynchronous APIs. Third party transfers, setting buffer sizes, parallel
streams, and restarting a GridFTP transfer are supported. There is a plugin
