Certificate stores

The certificate trust stores were retrieved from

• Linux: Copied from an up-to-date Debian Linux machine
• Mozilla: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
• Java: JRE keystore pulled + extracted with keytool from a Linux machine from $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
• Microsoft: Following command pulls all certificates from Windows Update services: CertUtil -syncWithWU -f -f . (see also http://aka.ms/RootCertDownload, https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265983(v=ws.11).aspx#BKMK_CertUtilOptions).
• Apple:
  1. System: from Apple OS X keychain app. Open Keychain Access utility, i.e. In the Finder window, under Favorites --> "Applications" --> "Utilities" (OR perform a Spotlight Search for Keychain Access) --> "Keychain Access" (2 click). In that window --> "Keychains" --> "System" --> "Category" --> "All Items" Select all CA certificates except for Developer ID Certification Authority, "File" --> "Export Items"
  2. Internet: Pick the latest subdir from https://opensource.apple.com/source/security_certificates/. They are in DER format despite their file extension.

Google Chromium uses basically the trust stores above, see https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/root-ca-policy.

If you want to test against e.g. a company internal CA you want to avoid warnings from the certificate stores here it's recommended to use ADDITIONAL_CA_FILES=<companyCA.pem ./testssl.sh <your cmdline>. (The former mechanism was to put the company root CA certificate here.)

Further files

• tls_data.txt contains lists of cipher suites and private keys for sockets-based tests

• cipher-mapping.txt contains information about all of the cipher suites defined for SSL/TLS

• ca_hashes.txt is used for HPKP test in order to have a fast comparison with known CAs. Use ~/utils/create_ca_hashes.sh for an update

• common-primes.txt is used for LOGJAM and the PFS section

• client-simulation.txt / client-simulation.wiresharked.txt are as the names indicate data for the client simulation. The first one is derived from ~/utils/update_client_sim_data.pl, and manually edited to sort and label those we don't want. The second file provides more client data retrieved from wireshark captures and some instructions how to do that yourself.
