Python Own Certificate Authority (ownca)

OwnCA makes easy handle Certificate Authority (CA) and manage certificates for hosts, servers or clients.

An example of high level usage:

>>> from ownca import CertificateAuthority
>>> ca = CertificateAuthority(ca_storage='/opt/CA', common_name='MyCorp CA')
>>> example_com = ca.issue_certificate('www.example.com', dns_names=['www.example.com', 'w3.example.com')

Basically in this three lines steps:

  1. Imported the ownca Certificate Authority library

  2. Created a new CA named as Corp CA that uses /opt/CA as CA storage for certificates, keys etc.

  3. Create a signed certificates by Corp CA server www.mycorp.com, the files are also stored in /opt/CA/certs/www.example.com.

     >>> example_com.cert
     <Certificate(subject=<Name(CN=www.example.com)>, ...)>
