+BDB library and utilities
+
+Building:
+---------
+The host-side library and utilities requires OpenSSL.
+
+Do 'make runtests' to ensure everything is working.
+
+Generating a BDB:
+-----------------
+Edit the options in bdb_create.c. Then 'make bdb'.
+
+In the next release, this will take a config file rather than
+requiring recompilation each time. Also, the BDB header and data will
+be signed in two separate steps, so that the private BDB key is not
+required each time.
+
+Revision History:
+-----------------
+v0.1.2 24-Nov-2015 Add support for RSA-3072B keys and signatures.
+ Add dump_rsa utility and 'make testkeys' to create
+ new keys.
+ Use a RSA-3072B (exponent 3) key for the subkey so
+ the exponent 3 code gets tested.
+
+v0.1.1 17-Nov-2015 Add support for ECDSA-521 data types. Note that
+ only the data types are supported; there is not a
+ C implementation for ECDSA.
+
+v0.1.0 15-Sep-2015 Initial version.
