Sponsoring Unichorn

Unichorn is an open-source PKI and digital-signature engineering project maintained by Harald Glab-Plhak.

Sponsorship can help fund continued work on:

maintenance and dependency modernization,
PKI and signature interoperability,
automated tests,
certificate-validation test suites,
PKCS#11 hardware integration,
documentation,
security review,
build and CI improvements, and
research-oriented extensions.

GitHub Sponsors

GitHub displays the Sponsor button for repositories through .github/FUNDING.yml.

The included funding configuration contains a GitHub Sponsors entry for hglabplh-tech. This only becomes active if that GitHub account or organization is eligible for and has configured GitHub Sponsors.

If the actual Sponsors profile uses another GitHub username, change:

github: [hglabplh-tech]

to the correct Sponsors-enabled account.

Other Funding Platforms

GitHub's funding configuration also supports selected external platforms. Add only accounts that you actually operate.

Example:

# patreon: your-account
# ko_fi: your-account
# open_collective: your-collective
# custom:
#   - https://example.org/support

Do not uncomment placeholder entries until the corresponding funding page exists.

Sponsorship Principles

Sponsorship supports development but does not purchase control over the project's security decisions, licensing, or technical conclusions.

Security-relevant changes should continue to be evaluated on technical merit, interoperability, maintainability, and safety.

Commercial or Institutional Support

Organizations interested in supporting a specific area---such as interoperability testing, documentation, PKCS#11 device support, or standards-oriented research---can open a GitHub issue to discuss the scope publicly before work begins.

Thank You

Financial support, code contributions, testing, documentation, interoperability reports, and technical reviews are all valuable contributions to Unichorn.
