# Browser based client certificate creation
Add initial implementation This commit implements a basic static HTML page that uses Bootstrap 4 for layout and node-forge to generate a RSA key pair and a certificate signing request. The subject of the CSR and the key size can be chosen by the user. The implementation uses gulp to collect static assets and to allow bootstrap customization.

The implementation uses the excellent [node-forge](https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge) library.
[Bootstrap 5](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.2/) is used for styling the user interface.
This is meant as a replacement for the `<keygen>` tag that has been removed from browsers.
The following steps have been implemented:
- choose a common name for the subject of the certificate signing request
- generate an RSA key pair with a selectable size
- generate a certificate signing request (PKCS#10 CSR)
- paste the certificate signed by the certificate authority
- build a PKCS#12 (also known as .p12 or .pfx) key store file with a password chosen by the user. That file contains the
generated key pair, the client certificate, and the CA certificate chain
The implementation contains the [CAcert CA certificates](https://secure.cacert.org/index.php?id=3) for CA chain
building.
