Case study of existing CA certificates

Generating the Markdown/SVG files

  1. Get the CA certificates of the CAs from their corresponding web sites

    poetry run python3 fetch_ca_certs.py
    
  2. Run the generation script and filter through pandoc for better markdown layout

    for dir in cacert certum dtrust globalsign letsencrypt sectigo
    do
      poetry run python3 analyze_certs.py $dir | \
      pandoc -f markdown -t gfm > $dir.md
    done
    

Compare certificates

There is a script compare_certs.py that can be used to compare a certificate with other certificates. The script generates markdown.

Example usage:

poetry run python3 compare_certs.py cacert/root_X0F.crt certum/CA.crt globalsign/root-r6.crt | \
pandoc -f markdown -t gfm > compare_root_cas.m
