| 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. | |
