It should represent a tool, that helps you set up a root certificate authority with multiple signing certificate authorities. These certificate authorities can be used to generate and sign server certificates.\n\nThis is very useful if you want to have valid SSL certificates for your local development. You can simply serve your projects locally with the generated server certificates. In addition, you have to add the certificate of the root certificate authority to your machine aside the other already existing root certificates, so that the server certificates can be validated and trusted. \n\n## Table of content\n\n- [Requirements](#requirements)\n- [Setup](#setup)\n- [Commands](#commands)\n    - [Root CA](#root-ca)\n    - [Signing CA](#signing-ca)\n    - [Server Certificate](#server-certificate)\n- [Information](#information)\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3\n- OpenSSL\n\n## Setup\n\n1. Clone the repository somewhere on your machine (ex. ~/Projects/Certificate-Authority-Tools)\n2. Create a folder where you want to generate all the keys and certificates (ex. ~/Certificates)\n3. Go to the new folder where you want to generate all the keys and certificates and execute the following commands (ex. ~/Certificates)\n\n## Commands\n\nUsing the following commands you can generate root CAs, sigining CAs and server certificates.\n\n### Root CA\n\nExecute the following command to generate a root CA:\n\n```bash\npython3 ~/Projects/Certificate-Authority-Tools/create-root-ca.py root-ca\n```\n\n### Signing CA\n\nExecute the following command to generate a signing CA:\n\n```bash\npython3 ~/Projects/Certificate-Authority-Tools/create-signing-ca.py root-ca signing-ca-01\n```\n\n### Server Certificate\n\nExecute the following command to generate a server certificate:\n\n```bash\npython3 ~/Projects/Certificate-Authority-Tools/create-server-certificate.py signing-ca-01 www.krumer.it\n```\n\n## Information\n\nAbout Bits is a company based in South Tyrol, Italy.
