Overview

This was pulled from #211 (comment):

Validations (some repeated):

  • cert chain ordering
  • hostname
  • expiration
  • duplicates
  • has root cert
  • has multiple intermediates
  • missing intermediates
  • missing root

I will need to review the current list of GH issues and file new ones for any validation checks that appear viable and are not already represented by a separate issue. I can process these as part of future milestone efforts.

TODO

  • expiration
  • hostname
  • subject alternate names
  • certificate chain verification (validating signatures from leaf to root)
  • duplicates
  • has root cert
  • missing root cert
  • multiple intermediates
  • missing intermediates

Some of these will end up being research items instead of confirmed TODO items.

For example, would it really be valuable to flag a certificate chain for not including a root certificate? From what I recall, current best practices indicate that you should only include the leaf and one or more intermediates necessary to complete the chain from the leaf to a root certificate which should already be present in the local certificates store on the client system.

Spun off separate GH issues for research and potential implementation.
