Pure Python Public Key Infrastructure Utilities
============================================== pkiutils - Public Key Infrastructure Utilities
This is a set of pycrypto_ and pyasn1_ based tools to create, load and verify public key infrastructure material like:
- RSA keys
PKCS#10_ certificate signing requests
.. * X.509 certificates .. * X.509 certificate bundles from files or directories
.. _pycrypto: https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/ .. _pyasn1: http://pyasn1.sourceforge.net/ .. _PKCS#10: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2986
This library can be used to produce RSA key pairs and corresponding certificate signing requests that can be used to request a new SSL certificate for your domain/server.
Installation Methods
-
From source cloned from Github :: $python setup.py install
-
Using pip or easy_install :: $pip install pkiutils
Example Usage
When you need a 3rd party SSL certificate you will be asked for a CSR (certificate signing request). The following commands will generate your personal key and the CSR file required and output them to /root
.. code-block:: python
import pkiutils
key = pkiutils.create_rsa_key(2048, keyfile='/root/www.example.com.key')
pkiutils.create_csr(key,
dn="/C=GB/ST=STATENAME/L=LOCAILITY/O=COMPANY/OU=DEPT/CN=www.example.com",
csrfilename='/root/www.example.com.csr')
From here you would provide your certification authority the contents of '/root/www.example.com.csr'
Documentation
