| Description: Certifi: Python SSL Certificates |
| ================================ |
| |
| `Certifi`_ is a carefully curated collection of Root Certificates for |
| validating the trustworthiness of SSL certificates while verifying the identity |
| of TLS hosts. It has been extracted from the `Requests`_ project. |
| |
| Installation |
| ------------ |
| |
| ``certifi`` is available on PyPI. Simply install it with ``pip``:: |
| |
| $ pip install certifi |
| |
| Usage |
| ----- |
| |
| To reference the installed CA Bundle, you can use the built-in function:: |
| |
| >>> import certifi |
| |
| >>> certifi.where() |
| '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem' |
| |
| Enjoy! |

| 1024-bit Root Certificates |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Browsers and certificate authorities have concluded that 1024-bit keys are |
| unacceptably weak for certificates, particularly root certificates. For this |
| reason, Mozilla has removed any weak (i.e. 1024-bit key) certificate from its |
| bundle, replacing it with an equivalent strong (i.e. 2048-bit or greater key) |
| certifiate from the same CA. Because Mozilla removed these certificates from |
| its bundle, ``certifi`` removed them as well. |
| |
| Unfortunately, old versions of OpenSSL (less than 1.0.2) sometimes fail to |
| validate certificate chains that use the strong roots. For this reason, if you |
| fail to validate a certificate using the ``certifi.where()`` mechanism, you can |
| intentionally re-add the 1024-bit roots back into your bundle by calling |
| ``certifi.old_where()`` instead. This is not recommended in production: if at |
| all possible you should upgrade to a newer OpenSSL. However, if you have no |
| other option, this may work for you. |
