Browser PKCS#10 CSR generation PoC

This repository contains a small proof of concept implementation of browser based PKCS#10 certificate signing request and PKCS#12 key store generation using node-forge.

The backend is implemented in Go and utilizes openssl for the signing operations.

Running

Clone the repository

git clone https://git.dittberner.info/jan/browser_csr_generation.git

Get dependencies and build assets

cd browser_csr_generation
npm install --global gulp-cli
npm install
gulp

Setup the example CA and a server certificate and key

./setup_example_ca.sh
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -subj "/CN=localhost" -addext subjectAltName=DNS:localhost -newkey rsa:3072 \
  -nodes -out server.crt.pem -keyout server.key.pem

Run the Go based backend
```
go run main.go
```
Open https://localhost:8000/ in your browser.
Run gulp watch

You can run a gulp watch in a second terminal window to automatically publish changes to the files in the src directory:
```
gulp watch
```
