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

====================

1. From source cloned from Github

::

    $python setup.py install

2. 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

=============

Pkiutils is documented using `Sphinx`_, you can read the documentation at
