#### Certificate stores
The certificate stores were retrieved by
* Mozilla; see https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
* Linux: Just copied from an up-to-date Linux machine
* Microsoft: For Windows >= 7/2008 Microsoft decided not to provide
a full certificate store by default or via update as all other OS do.
It's being populated with time -- supposed you use e.g. IE while browsing.
Thus this file is smaller as the others.
This store was destilled from three different windows installations via
"certmgr.msc". It's a PKCS7 export of "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
and the Third Party Store.
Feedback is welcome, see #317.
It's still behind what MS publishes what [should be included](http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/31634.microsoft-trusted-root-certificate-program-participants-v-2016-april.aspx).
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be store to DL. Let me know if
you have a pointer
* Apple: It comes from Apple OS X keychain app. Open Keychain Access.
In the Finder window, under Favorites --> "Applications" --> "Utilities"
--> "Keychain Access" (2 click). In that window --> "Keychains" --> "System"
--> "Category" --> "All Items"
Select all CA certificates, "File" --> "Export Items"
In this directory you can also save e.g. your company Root CA(s) in PEM
format, extension ``pem``. This has two catches momentarily: You will still
get a warning for the other certificate stores while scanning internal net-
works. Second catch: If you scan other hosts in the internet the check against
your Root CA will fail, too. This will be fixed in the future, see #230.
#### Mapping files
The file ``mapping-rfc.txt`` uses the hexcode to map OpenSSL names
against the RFC/IANA names. ``curves.txt`` is not being used yet, it
is supposed to map EC curve names properly.
